Condé Nast spokeswoman, Maurie Perl confirmed this morning that Stephano Tonchi would be the next editor in chief.

There has been a lot of speculation lately whether the high fashion publication business will survive with the declining advertisement sales as more companies shift to online advertising. Our bet at MSMPR24seven.com is that Condé Nast has a bright future with Anna Wintour and Stephano Tonchi running two of its top fashion magazines. We are excited to see how W will grow and change with the arrival of Mr. Tonchi. His first day is April 12th, so get ready!
What do you think of the hiring? Did Condé Nast and W make the right choice?
