Deputy editor Jackie Kovacs the latest to abandon ship at Today's Parent

The exodus by staff of Today's Parent magazine, which has long been one of Canada's most successsful and respected magazine brands, continues with the imminent departure of deputy editor Jacqueline Kovacs. She has accepted a job as the managing editor of Professionally Speaking, the publication of the Ontario College of Teachers. 

Kovacs's departure means most of  the senior editorial team under editor-in-chief Karine Ewart (who joined the magazine in June) is going or gone. 

As reported here, the magazine's art director Jo-Anne Martin Grier was laid off in a surprising move a few weeks ago, followed soon after by the resignation of managing editor Laura Bickle and the move of senior editor Dafna Izenberg to join Rogers's new Sportsnet magazine.

It was abruptly announced last January that longtime and highly respected editor Caroline Connell was  leaving the magazine. It took months before the job was filled by Ewart, who had been a freelancer and had previously been EIC of Fashion 18 and features editor of Fashion magazine.
