WSJ’s travel editor headed to Travel & Leisure

Sara Clemence, the travel editor of The Wall Street Journal, is leaving to become news director for Travel & Leisure magazine.

Alexandra Steigrad of Women’s Wear Daily writes, “At the Journal, Clemence directed travel coverage for the Off Duty section, in addition to reporting and writing her own stories. Prior to the Journal, she was the deputy business editor at the New York Post, a cofounder of the site Recessionwire.com and the lifestyle editor of Portfolio.com and Forbes.com.

“At T+L, Clemence will oversee the monthly Upgrade section in print and she will conceptualize and oversee content packages for both the magazine and the Web site, among other things.

“Lump said the editor would play a ‘pivotal role’ in new ‘brand-building initiatives,’ but did not elaborate further.”
