After nearly 60 years as a Chicago-based institution, Playboy is moving its editorial operations out west. Executives confirmed that the magazine's editorial, art and photo departments will be based out of the company's Los Angeles office by May of next year.
"Some of the magazine's Chicago employees have been asked to relocate, while others have been asked to stay on in Chicago to ensure a seamless transition," said Playboy spokeswoman Theresa Hennessey in a statement Tuesday.
