On Wednesday, Dec. 4, the heads of the international bureaus of Blouin Artinfo received an email from Louise Blouin Media Vice Chairman Bruce Ferguson, who joined the company in September and whom many of the editors had not met.
“LB MEDIA is in the process of re-structuring its editorial bureaus in order to respond to new contingencies,” the email read. “As a result, for the bureau and its site only, and effective immediately, there will be one bureau chief – you – and one translator only, of your choosing, only for the site.
