NEW YORK, Friday, June 12, 2015 - T Magazine announced several key editorial posts and new hires. In making the announcements, Deborah Needleman, editor in chief of T Magazine, said, "T was essentially in start-up mode over the last couple years. With a lean staff, we recast the editorial direction of the magazine, broadening it into a general-interest style magazine, examining stories through the lens of culture and ideas. The business grew by 15% (ad pages in 2014 vs. 2012) , and we are now positioning ourselves for future growth and opportunity." Tmagazine.com will relaunch in August.
