Vanity Fair editor in chief Radhika Jones is leaving the magazine after an eight-year tenure, she told staff in a note on Thursday. Jones will depart this spring saying that she had completed most of the goals she set out to accomplish during her run at the magazine. “Those of you who know me well now I can be a little restless, once a mission is accomplished,” she wrote, according to The New York Times. “And I have always had a horror of staying too long at the party.” Jones, bolstered by New Yorker editor David Remnick, succeeded esteemed editor Graydon Carter after he stepped down in 2017. She oversaw the magazine’s embrace of the digital era even as it faced the headwinds—and the staff cuts—of a post-COVID decline. A Condé Nast spokesperson did not return a request for comment on Jones’ last day or who will lead the paper after she leaves.
