'US Weekly' Editor Janice to Exit

The publishing world has been abuzz about whether Janice Min would soon be leaving as editor of US Weekly magazine after six years. Many considered the buzz a negotiating ploy. Min's last contract was signed after wild speculation that she would be stepping down. If it worked before, why not try again?

It turns out that no price was high enough for Min to continue editing the labor-intensive weekly magazine while reporting to Jann Wenner. Min is being replaced this week by executive editor Mike Steele, who is being promoted to interim editor in chief.

The top spot of US Weekly may be a coveted job, but it is also incredibly demanding. One magazine insider believes that closing at the magazine each week might be the most intense editorial and production process in publishing.
