Radhika Jones to be second woman ever to be editor at Vanity Fair
November 12, 2017 18:26
New York Times books editor Radhika Jones is set to become to the next editor of Vanity Fair.
Cond Nast, which publishes Vanity Fair, plans to make the announcement as soon as Monday.
Jones, 44, will succeed the 68-year-old Graydon Carter, who said in September that he was stepping down from the glossy general-interest magazine after a 25-year run at its helm.
In anointing Jones, who holds degrees from Harvard College and Columbia University, Vanity Fair has placed its future in the hands of a woman -- the first since Tina Brown served as the magazines editor from 1984 until 1992 -- who has cultivated the kind of sophistication and prestige that Cond Nast has long valued.
Though Jones is a well-known figure in the New York literary world, she is relatively unknown in Hollywood. She was previously the deputy managing editor at Time magazine where she oversaw the Time 100 issue. She has also worked at the Paris Review, where she was a managing editor.
