Bustle Digital Group to Acquire W Magazine Under Joint Venture
 

Hi there,

Hope your weekend was a good one!

W Magazine will have a new relationship with Bustle Digital Group under a partnership that will have BDG taking over the operation, with new investors.

As Rachel Winicov reported: Current editor in chief of the brand, Sara Moonves (daughter of former CBS CEO Les Moonves), will continue to lead the fashion and lifestyle title, with the same editorial staff from W Magazine, who will be rehired after being furloughed in March. Moonves will hold the role of editor in chief of W Media and BDG CEO Bryan Goldberg will be managing partner, though BDG will still operate as a separate entity.
