Ms. Magazine Editor Decides to Step Down
After just three months, Tracy Wood has stepped down from her post as editor-in-chief of Ms. magazine. Wood will oversee investigative reporting at the feminist publication, a post she says is a far better fit.
Wood was named editor in July to great fanfare, and hailed as a leader who could take the magazine back to its hard-hitting roots, breaking news from the feminist perspective.
Wood is a former investigative journalist for the Los Angeles Times and the Orange County Register. She had no experience putting out a magazine.
The October issue was to have been the first under her stewardship. There was no October issue. No new editor in chief has been named, Wood said.
