Hearst’s Elle Editor Says Women’s Magazines Matter

WWD: From Elle’s offices at Hearst Tower in Midtown New York, a passionate Robbie Myers discussed why women’s magazines — especially American Elle, which turns 30 this year — still matter today, and how the industry is adapting to the way readers consume content. She also recalled her days working as a junior staffer at Rolling Stone, why that magazine’s University of Virginia rape story would never have happened at Elle, and how she nearly went on a date with Tom Cruise.
