The business mag has already slashed more than 60 jobs since last fall. Those job losses were attributed to the two-phase process of combining the digital and print staffs. With that process completed about three months ago, it appears that this latest round can only be laid at the feet of the foundering economy. Kafka wonders whether a number of the other magazine companies—such as Time Inc., which in October, let go of 600, or 6 percent of its staff—that had their first round of layoffs last fall will be taking out the job ax for another swing. One mag exec told me earlier this year that many companies had cut staff in anticipation of advertiser pullback, and would wait and see if more would be needed in the spring. Condé Nast CEO Charles Townsend has already being preparing the troops, saying more reductions are imminent.
