Story summary

Condé Nast is turning Glamour into a commerce-focused site, ending its award-winning journalism that won a 2023 National Magazine Award.
In April, Condé Nast cut most U.S. editorial staff and dismissed editor-in-chief Samantha Barry without naming a replacement.
Jane Pratt said the shift moves Glamour from a pro-women stance, with the homepage now listing one editor, four commerce writers, and occasional pieces by laid-off staffers.
