Curve, one of only a handful of magazines dedicated fully to lesbian content, has announced numerous layoffs in the wake of the worsening financial crisis.
"The magazine industry is having a really difficult time," Diane Anderson-Minshall, editor in chief of Curve, told Tracy Gilchrist, senior editor of SheWired.com, Advocate.com's sister site. "We're doing some belt-tightening."
According to sources, the San Francisco-based publication let go of its director of operations, associate publisher, director of marketing, photo editor, and subscription manager. Anderson-Minshall said that all of the laid-off employees were recent hires who had held nonessential positions.
"This [was] the largest the staff has ever been," Anderson-Minshall said.
Anderson-Minshall dismissed rumors that the magazine was folding or being converted solely to a website: "Curve has experienced worse financial times in our 20 years of publication. We hope to be here another 20 years." (Neal Broverman, The Advocate)
