Stephanie Smith of Women’s Wear Daily writes Wednesday that new business magazine Conde Nast Portfolio is losing another staff member, while at least one other recent high-profile hire may be contemplating going back to his old publication.
“Before joining Portfolio, Brooker worked at Fortune for eight years and was considered one of the magazine’s stars; the talented reporter even received perks such as enjoying additional time off during the summer to spend with her family. When Lipman searched for high-profile names to help launch Portfolio, Brooker was an early target.
“At Portfolio, Brooker wrote a much-noted piece for the September issue on imprisoned Tyco executive Mark Swartz, and a profile in the premier issue this past spring of art dealer Marianne Boesky, the daughter of Ivan Boesky. Sources close to Portfolio said Brooker was close to former Portfolio deputy editor Jim Impoco, whom Lipman fired last month.
“Meanwhile, Brooker may not be the only Portfolio staffer who Fortune is trying to court back. Sources say Portfolio senior writer Daniel Roth also has been approached by Serwer and Huey to return. Roth could not be reached for comment.”
