Harper’s Bazaar and Elle magazine will now merge
How’s that purchase of ACP looking now?
Not surprising that this has happened as Bauer loses more of its gloss. Speaking of which, in the last few years, all I’ve heard from this publisher is finding ways to cut cost. There is no mention of finding ways TO MAKE MONEY.
In the last few years, I’ve noticed the people that have been hired seem to be there to maintain the status quo – no innovation whatsoever. It’s a real shame that this has happened, considered the publisher does have some good titles.
Perhaps this approach is a sign of where things are heading for Bauer, it’s definitely not going to survive if they keep pulling this approach.
Just my two cents on it.
