New York Mag Gets Glucked
By Jenny Bailly
Jan 8, 2003/ FWD/ --- There's a new number two in town. New York magazine has tapped Jon Gluck as deputy editor, a position that has remained vacant since Maer Roshan left the post in spring 2001 to team up with Tina on Talk.
Gluck is currently editor-in-chief of JD Jungle magazine, a title targeted at the legal set that launched in April 2001. It is the second magazine put out by Jungle Media Group, whose flagship title, MBA Jungle, debuted in fall 2000 under the stewardship of editor-in-chief Bill Shapiro, a Golin-era Details alum. Shapiro left for Time Inc.'s custom publishing unit in fall 2001, and was replaced by Industry Standard vet Vince Bielski.
Gluck steps into his new role at New York on February 3. He will report to editor-in-chief Caroline Miller, who took over the helm of New York magazine from Kurt Andersen in 1996. Although she tops the masthead at Primedia's most successful consumer title, there has still been speculation about the stability of her future at the magazine in recent months. Perhaps she's hoping that putting a savvy number two in place once again will help bolster her ranks.
Maer Roshan was deputy editor of New York magazine until June 2001 when he joined Tina Brown's Talk magazine as editorial director. That adventure famously fizzled a year ago this month, and media watchers have busied themselves following Roshan's next venture, a not-yet-launched magazine called Radar, ever since.
Gluck is only one half of a media-savvy New York couple; wife Didi Gluck is Marie Claire's beauty director.
