Publisher Chelstowski Out at EW

It’s not quite the big-scale layoffs of recent years, but Time Inc. has had its second high-profile departure in two weeks, with Entertainment Weekly publisher Ray Chelstowski abruptly stepping down.
 
Chelstowski was the title’s sixth publisher in as many years at EW, where he worked earlier in various sales roles. “It’s completely Wenner-esque,” cracked one industry veteran.
 
In a meeting with staff to announce his departure, Chelstowski referenced his ailing mother, but he was also known for butting heads with higher-ups and his sales staff.
