Nylon editor-in-chief Gabrielle Korn is stepping down from her role following last month’s sale of the magazine to Bustle Digital Group.
In her August editor’s letter, Korn said, “I’ve weighed my options carefully, and the company’s acquisition feels like a natural conclusion to what has been a life-changing five years.” She also stated in her letter that she does not yet know her next role, but she does have a book coming out next year.
Korn joined Nylon in 2015 from Refinery29 as a senior editor and quickly rose through the ranks on the brand’s digital side to deputy editor, editorial director and finally to digital editor-in-chief before taking over as the publication’s top editor following shuttering of its print edition in 2017.
During BDG’s acquisition of the title, the company also announced that it would be relaunching the magazine’s print run through special interest publications. Her successor has not yet been announced.
Here are the rest of this week’s people on the move…

Correction: An earlier version of this article, stating that Joanna Saltz, editorial director of Delish.com and House Beautiful, was departing Hearst after 15 years, was based off of a misinterpreted social media post. A rep for Hearst confirms that Saltz remains in both roles.
