Former WWD Publisher To Launch Specialty Retailer Trade

On the day that we learn that Richard Beckman, the CEO of Women’s Wear Daily publisher Fairchild Publications, is stepping down, comes news that former WWD group publisher Ralph Erardy has started his own media company and is preparing to launch a retailer trade magazine of his own by the end of the month.

Just over a year since Erardy was let go from Fairchild in a shake-up at the Condé Nast-owned trade publisher, he has launched Insider Communications Group and plans to debut his new pub, Specialty Insider magazine, on January 25.
