Sad news this morning, Condé Nast is closing
Portfolio. From
Jeff Bercovici's
Mixed Media blog for the
Portfolio website:
Our editor in chief, Joanne Lipman, just broke the news to staff, saying the decision had been made "because of financial reasons at Advance," Condé Nast's parent company. "It's not anything that the company wanted to do." She said she was informed by Condé Nast chairman S.I. Newhouse Jr. this morning of the decision.
The judges at SPD certainly liked what they saw from this short-lived book, as well as the ASME judges who awarded its "Briefs" section with a National Magazine Award in 2008. Check out some of the awards for
Portfolio from last year
here, and some of their Medal Finalists for this year
