Ten days after Vanity Fair’s new editor, Radhika Jones, took an ax to the staff she inherited from Graydon Carter, she is slowly filling some of the positions.

On Feb. 15, Jones had handed out 20 pink slips. Some of those let go, including managing editor Chris Garrett and features editor Jane Sarkin, actually predated Carter’s tenure and went all the way back to the Tina Brown era.

Claire Howorth, most recently at Time as an assistant managing editor, joins VF as a new deputy editor. Howorth had been overseeing Time’s Motto, a vertical aimed at millennial women.

Howorth, who began her journalism career at VF, also had edited cover stories and special issues and had a working relationship with celebrity contributors from George Clooney to Hillary Clinton.

In the shakeups, two of Carter’s deputy editors also were let go: Aimee Bell and Dana Brown.

Caryn Prime joins as director of editorial operations, managing the operations of the print magazine. She was most recently at the website Coveteur.com but had earlier worked at Marie Claire, Lucky and Elle Decor.

Keziah Weir joins as an associate editor from Elle, where she wrote celebrity profiles and wrote the Coach of the Month column.

In addition, VF promoted Lizzie Wolff to senior director of communications, replacing Carter’s longtime top PR executive, Beth Kseniak, who was swept out in the Feb. 15 restructuring.

The new Glamour editor Samantha Barry also axed about 10 staffers around the same time that VF was axing 20. Of the 30 people let go between the two titles, only about half will be replaced, as the magazines try to bring staff in line with the current economic climate, in which print advertising is declining.
