Changes at The Beaver

The editor of The Beaver: Canada's History Magazine, based in Winnipeg, Doug Whiteway, and the associate editor, Jennifer Nault, have resigned.

Their resignations are but the latest example of a great deal of change at the venerable magazine (86 years old), which is published by Canada's National History Society. In recent months, Catherine Burns, the Director of Finance and Development, left to go into business and technology consulting and Gale Whiteside, the Manager of Member Services also resigned. Ian McKelvie, a well-known circulation expert, formerly of Canadian Geographic, recently joined the Society as its newly-titled Director of Marketing, working out of Ottawa. At sister publication, the children's history magazine Kayak, a new editorial team has joined, with Jill Foran as Editor and Bryan Pezzi as art director, based in Calgary.

Any idea why both top editors at the Beaver are leaving at the same time?

Winnipeg sources say the publisher and art director are nightmares

I suppose it depends on your sources; I would not be too quick to accept this view. The publisher and the art director have taken this magazine and shaken it out of a torpor in which it languished for many years.
