Condé Nast Gets PR Help

It’s been a rough fall for Condé Nast. The media powerhouse shuttered several titles, laid off hundreds of employees and reported sharp decline in ad revenue.

Now, the company is getting PR help. CEO Charles Townsend and Chairman S.I. Newhouse, Jr. have hired crisis manager and media coach Michael Sheehan. The executives were reluctant to make the hire, but did so after Lucky publisher Gina Sanders urged them to, reports the Post‘s Keith Kelly. Sanders is married to Condé “heir apparent” Steven Newhouse and worked with Sheehan when she was at Teen Vogue.
