When Radhika Jones was appointed editor in chief of Vanity Fair last year, following the end of Graydon Carter’s 25-year run at the helm, she was given the unsavory task of restructuring the magazine’s masthead.

Yesterday, Conde Nast reporter Vanity Fair's editorial restructuring had begun with the exit of 15 editors, all from the print side. They include, according to The Hollywood Reporter, editor-at-large Cullen Murphy, managing editor Chris Garrett, deputy editors Aimee Bell and Dana Brown, features editor Jane Sarkin, associate managing editor Ellen Kiell, senior photography producer Kathryn MacLeod and public relations head Beth Kseniak.

Three staff members were reportedly cut from Glamour as well.

"The priority for each [publication] is to create quality and provocative content across all platforms equally, embracing the next generation of readers and viewers," a Conde Nast spokesman stated Thursday.

Like many publishing behemoths, Conde Nast has been scrambling to cultivate a sustainable digital brand to weather the stormy advertising climate.

Last November, the company ceased print publication of its popular Teen Vogue title, which is now entirely digital, and laid off 80 staffers. Nearly 100 jobs were cut in spring of 2017.

However, Vanity Fair’s digital editorial department has grown over the past few years, ahead of the mid-2016 launch of the newly overhauled sections "The Hive", "HWD" and "Vanities."

No staffers were cut on the digital side, and the company spokesman stated that no further layoffs are expected.
