She already has a MySpace page, so it’s not surprising that editor-in-chief Atoosa Rubenstein — she of the ubiquitous Today Show appearance and Michael’s lunch — is leaving Seventeen at the end of the year to work on digital projects.

Her Seventeen replacement has yet to be determined — Brandon Holley‘s name has already been floated — but whoever takes over will inherit a magazine, like plenty of others, facing a flat at-best ad market.
