Former 'Jane' Editor Now Spends Days in Nightgown Not Commissioning Freelancers

Brandon Holley “once dispatched what she calls ‘crazy photographers and insane stylists’ to Aruba and commissioned lengthy articles from investigative journalists. Now, she spends much of her time trying to figure out ways to get Shine’s visitors to contribute their own unvarnished thoughts on the site by blogging and posting reader comments.” So clearly it’s not just the editors-in-chief who lost their jobs; dozens or hundreds went down with each one as well. But the former editors, transformed to work-at-home slipper-wearers, they sure do make a better story pitch at a newspaper.
