The new guard of editors are making themselves more accessible to staff than ever before:
When Adam Moss announced his plan to resign as editor-in-chief of New York Magazine at the end of March, he cited his belief that editors should have term-limits. "I have never subscribed to the myth of the all-powerful editor — I get way more credit than I deserve for the work that you do," he wrote in a memo to staff.
The 32-year-old alumna of Marie Claire, Teen Vogue and Glamour is already implementing new strategies at Cosmo, like planning print photo shoots with an eye toward Instagram and teaming up with Google to build new tools that will change how magazines are made.
"I'm a huge believer in the power of a democratic team, because I've seen the benefits of giving everyone ownership at every level," says Pels, whose open, transparent leadership style was informed by her own mentors, including Kate Lewis, Hearst's chief content officer, and Leive, who Pels assisted at the start of her career.
