She is a wonderful editor and this promotion recognizes her talent, passion and vision. She is going to do an amazing job of driving the continued and aggressive growth of the Time Out brand.”
“Carla has played a key role in driving Time Out’s rapid audience growth to date and we are excited for her to take up the content reins now, building on the success of the free weekly print publication in New York as well as our national digital reach,” says Justin Etheridge, Executive Vice President of Time Out North America. “As well as a gifted editor, Carla is a natural ambassador for the brand and already serves as the voice of Time Out New York, making frequent television appearances and starring in our daily video series.”

Time Out New York magazine, now in its 20th year as the premier source of inspiration for New Yorkers seeking to make the most of their city, launched as a free, weekly publication in April this year, part of a wider growth strategy which has seen the brand taking a new approach to print distribution. As a result of the distribution model and circulation of 305,000 per week, Time Out has greatly expanded its millennial reach and is now delivering new, cross-platform creative opportunities for national partners and local advertisers.
