Bauer Names David Perel Editor of In Touch and Life & Style

Perel to focus on digital expansion

Following his surprise exit from American Media Inc. last August, David Perel has landed at rival Bauer Publishing as editorial director of In Touch and Life & Style, effective immediately.

Perel joined AMI as a reporter for the National Enquirer in 1985, eventually rising to editor in chief. During his tenure, the Enquirer broke a number of major stories, including Rush Limbaugh’s addiction to prescription drugs and John Edwards’ extramarital affair and illegitimate child, for which the tabloid received a Pulitzer Prize nomination.
