Charlotte Triggs Named GM Of The People Group

Dotdash Meredith has named People veteran Charlotte Triggs as the first general manager and editor in chief of the People group. 

Triggs will have oversight of content operations for digital and print. 

She replaces Wendy Naugle, who is stepping down as editor in chief after five years to complete a novel. 

"People is a mediasphere – known as much for its minute-to-minute digital breaking news as it is for its iconic weekly magazine – and has experienced explosive growth in the last few years," says Leah Wyar, president of the People Group at Dotdash Meredith, to whom Triggs will continue reporting. "Now is the right time to rethink the role of our editor-in-chief: a single brand – and business leader to unify our teams and platforms and navigate the continued change.”

With regard to Naugle, Wyar adds: "Wendy has been an integral part of People's evolution over the past five years and elevated the brand in the years serving as editor in chief.”

Triggs has served in several other roles in her 20 years at People, including senior vice president and general manager of the brand, and earlier as cover writer, TV editor, podcast producer and news director.
