Newsmax magazine, the fast-growing right-leaning news monthly, is hiring Ken Chandler to be the new editor-in-chief.
Chandler, who will be based in New York, will be taking over editing responsibilities from company founder Christopher Ruddy, who started Newsmax Media 12 years ago and is now making money with his Web site aimed at the Republican heartland, especially in the 50-plus bracket, and with the fast-growing magazine.
In the six months ended June 30, the magazine was one of the fastest-growing in the country, with paid circulation up 92 percent to 181,985. Chandler said the magazine’s circulation has since grown to 300,000.
“My role will be to significantly expand the New York office,” said Chandler, a former editor-in-chief of The Post and a former editorial director of the Boston Herald, who was most recently running a crisis management p.r. firm, Chandler Media.
