Hitchcock quits Chatelaine

Is it true that Acting Editor Beth Hitchcock has quit Chatelaine, leaving the magazine now without an editor or an art director? Hitchcock pinch-hit after Editor Kim Pittaway quit over fundamental disagreements with Publisher Kerry Mitchell.

UPDATE: It is true. Mastheadonline got her on the phone and she said: “The last few months have been really hard,” Hitchcock says, “We’ve been understaffed, so it’s been hard shouldering that. I’ve done the best I can but…I think it’s time for me to try something new.” Her plans? “I’m now taking calls,” she joked. “I’m terrified slash excited.”
