Editorial restructure for Girlfriend and Total Girl, Prevention goes bi-monthly and Pacific Magazines renews license for Marie Claire

Three staff could be made redundant as a result of changes at Pacific Magazines which will see the editorial teams for teen publications Girlfriend and Total Girl combined, and health title Prevention set to move from monthly frequency to bi-monthly.

The proposed restructure of Girlfriend and Total Girl will see a combined editorial team working under editors Sarah Tarca and Amanda Nicholls who will continue in their roles.

Staff will be having individual discussions with the company today, with two staff potentially to be redeployed following their positions being identified as likely to be redundant.

Pacific Magazines director of magazines Peter Savecz said: While each title is successful and has a clear positioning, there are efficiencies in bringing the editorial into a shared unit, where there are synergies, particularly with our ongoing digital content focus. We will be building on each title’s strengths.”
