It’s the end of the magazine era, I say. (So you should subscribe to Edictive’s Feed!) Anna Wintour is “So tired out,” and nobody is surprised. “She just let Men’s Vogue close instead of fighting for it,” said an ‘insider’ on Page Six.

“Of course, this smells of bullshit (it is Page 6, after all) but we could also add that Vogue’s revenues are falling, Wintour is far from web-savvy in an increasingly web-based industry, and the fact that the flagship mag is feeling a little staid these days as other factors.” Pipeline has a whole list of possible stepper-inners for Wintour’s position of current Editor in Chief of Vogue and other titles.

I say, since they compared Anna Wintour to George W. Bush as one responsible and now stepping back from the “monster” they created… let’s invite Michelle Obama to be the new editor of Vogue! Or maybe even Vanessa Williams? (Just kidding)

Or the other option is that magazine publishers should just throw in the towel anyway because even I can’t remember the last time I bought a magazine.
