A little sad

Call me nostigiscatic but I was a little sad when I found out that Bertsleman sold off their magazine publishing division (Gruner & Jahr) to Meredith and CondeNast.

I used to work in the art department for Fitness magazine and it's alarmingly to see such a huge company sell off its holdings and leave. YM is the only title that CondeNast snatched up probably because it's relatively successful at competing with Seventeen and Teen Vogue and the G&J's other titles Fitness, Parents, Family Circle and Child do not necessary fit into the CondeNast brand.
