In 1992, she accepted the company's invitation to become editor of The New Yorker. She redesigned the magazine, introducing the first staff photographer (Richard Avedon) and brought in many new reporters and critics, including the man she eventually nominated as her successor, David Remnick, then a reporter with the Washington Post. As a result of her efforts, the magazine circulation increased by 250,000. In 1998, she resigned from the New Yorker following an invitation from Harvey Weinstein and Bob of Miramax Films (owned by the Disney Company) to be the chairman in a new multi-media company they intended to start with a new magazine, a book company and a television show. The Hearst company came in as partners with Miramax. Tina Brown created Talk magazine, a monthly glossy, and appointed Jonathan Burnham and Susan Mercandetti to manage Talk Books. Both magazine and book company made an immediate impact, the magazine with a circulation around 800,000 and the book company with a number of best sellers (including the memoir of Mayor Rudolf Giannini). Three years after the launch the magazine was on track to viability, with rising circulation and advertising revenues, but the company was badly damaged in the advertising recession after the 9/11 terrorist destruction of the World Trade Center. Publication was suspended soon afterwards and Talk Books was absorbed into Miramax. Tina Brown went on to produce a series of specials for CNBC which followed up by signing her to host a weekly talk show titled Topic [A] With Tina Brown.
