Nancy Gibbs, Time Magazine’s Top Editor, Is Stepping Down
Ms. Gibbs said she would stay at Time Inc. through the end of the year as the editorial director of company’s
news group, a position she has held since last year, and would help with the magazine’s transition
“I’m now going to go do my next thing.”
Ms. Gibbs, who joined Time in 1985 as a fact-checker
and was named the magazine’s top editor in 2013, helped steer the nearly century-old magazine through a period of great transition for its parent company, Time Inc.
Since the company spun off from Time Warner in 2014, it has brought on a new leadership team
that has implemented an aggressive strategy to transform the print magazine publisher into a digital media company as it combats declining print advertising and circulation.
Ms. Gibbs said that she had embraced the changes at Time Inc., whose stable of magazines also includes Sports Illustrated and People.
