About Condé Nast
Condé Nast publishes Vogue, The New Yorker, GQ, Wired and Vanity Fair. Its titles have absorbed heavy losses through the collapse of print advertising, sustained by an owner that does not have to answer to public shareholders for them. The company was named for Condé Montrose Nast, who bought Vogue in 1909 and pioneered the idea of a magazine aimed at a defined audience rather than at everyone.
