Lexis Nexis shifts Lawyer’s Weekly to RBI, three jobs lost
The magazine portfolio of Lexis Nexis has been reduced to a single title with the move of Lawyer’s Weekly to Reed Business Information.
Both companies are owned by Reed Elsevier.
The move, which has meant the loss of three jobs, comes less than three months after Lexis Nexis sold HR Leader and Risk magazines to Key Media.
Lexis Nexis now has just one title remaining in its media portfolio – OHS magazine.
The transition of the title from Lexis Nexis to RBI is being overseen by publishing and media strategist John Nuutinen.
Two sales staff and an art director have been made redundant, a digital news manager will be moved to another title within Reed. All the journalists on Lawyer’s Weekly will remain in place.
A source told Mumbrella: “It is always unfortunate when jobs are lost. But this is good news for the publication. RBI are in the right position to drive the publication forward and make it what it needs to be. Lexis Nexis is successful in many ways, but not as a magazine publisher. Magazines are what RBI does.”
Lexis Nexis had not returned Mumbrella’s calls at the time of publishing.
Not so sure OHS mag is still with Lexis. Pretty sure its moving over too
