After just six months as Redbook's creative director, Jenny Leigh Thompson has parted ways with the magazine, a spokeswoman for the title confirmed. Thompson had come over from Marie Claire, where Redbook editor in chief Stacy Morrison once served as executive editor. Redbook's newsstand has seen double-digit declines in the last three reporting periods — 12.9 percent in the first half of this year, to 244,500; 28.6 percent in the second half of last year, and 20 percent in the first half of last year. Michael Pic?n, who was design director at New York magazine until 2002, will sub in the interim, though a permanent replacement is being sought.

THE Forbes family, which more than a year ago sold a minority stake in its empire to U2 frontman Bono and his associates at Elevation Partners, continues to dismantle the non-media portion of its family owned empire.

The latest to go is the family's 171,400-acre Colorado ranch known as the Forbes Trinchera Ranch.

It's the largest ranch in the state and traces it roots to the Sangre de Cristo Land Grant of 1843. Malcolm Forbes, the late patriarch of the current generation of Forbes family members who run the company, took over the ranch in 1969.
