<i>Country Living</i> Gets New Associate Publisher

It was only four months ago that Hearst scooped one of Time Inc.'s magazine execs to work on its Country Living title. Chris Allen was formerly the senior vice president of Cooking Light before he jumped companies in September to become Living's publisher. Now Hearst has made the same move again, by giving former Cooking Light associate publisher Kassie Means the same role over at Country Living. Considering last year's major cuts across Time Inc., we're happy to see that some media executives can still find work elsewhere. Press release after the jump. Previously: Former Cooking Light SVP Chris Allen Named Publisher Of Country Living KASSIE MEANS NAMED ASSOCIATE PUBLISHER OF COUNTRY LIVING MAGAZINE NEW YORK, January 7, 2010 - Kassie Means has been named associate publisher of Country Living magazine, it was announced today by Chris Allen, the magazine's vice president and publisher.

From 1996-2003, she was an account manager, then Eastern sales development director at Cooking Light. Prior to that, Means was an advertising representative at Southern Living. She began her advertising sales career at Scholastic and YM. Before that, Means was in the media planning group at Lintas and at DMB&B, where she worked on the Kraft business.
