WSJ. magazine editor resigns

Tina Gaudoin, the editor of The Wall Street Journal’s upscale WSJ. magazine, is resigning for personal reasons, reports Amy Wicks of Women’s Wear Daily.

Wicks writes, “While ‘personal reasons’ is often a euphemism for you-know-what, sources said in this case, the statement is accurate and involves family matters. Gaudoin’s husband has been working in London for the last year while she has remained in New York. ‘It was just not sustainable,’ she told WWD. ‘It’s been a great privilege to work here and it was a hard decision for me.’

“Gaudoin, who moved to New York in January 2008, will oversee the supplement’s September and October issues and will help choose her successor (get those résumés out now). She will remain on WSJ.’s masthead as a contributing editor, working with Wall Street Journal Europe editor in chief Patience Wheatcroft contributing articles to the Journal on European fashion and luxury goods.

“Despite recent speculation that News Corp. honcho Rupert Murdoch wasn’t that keen on the title, Journal executives insisted the group remains committed to the supplement, a key product as the paper tries to lure more luxury advertisers (well, those that are still advertising).”
