David Carey to Step Down As President of Hearst Magazines

[caption id="attachment_61878" align="alignright" width="150"] David Carey[/caption] Months after a $200 million acquisition of one of his company's largest competitors, David Carey has revealed plans to depart Hearst Magazines following eight years at the division's helm.
