Deputy editor at Conde Nast Portfolio is gone

Michael Calderone of The New York Observer is reporting that Jim Impoco, a deputy editor for Conde Nast Portfolio, is no longer with the fledgling business magazine.

The question is whether he was fired by editor Joanne Lipman or simply left.

Calderone wrote, “Mr. Impoco, former editor of the New York Times Sunday business section, was responsible for bringing in top talent to the Conde Nast business magazine (or is it a women’s magazine?)—which just closed issue number two—and it’s a big loss for the Conde Nast start-up.

“A Portfolio spokesperson said: ‘Jim Impoco left the magazine and we wish him well.’ The spokesperson would not confirm that he was fired.”

A brief in the New York Times says that Impoco and Lipman clashed over how to handle writer Kurt Eichenwald. Brian Garrity of The New York Post also weighs in on the Impoco departure.
