BOLOGNA, ITALY—Des Higgins will be leaving his position as CEO of Bonnier Publishing at the end of March after a 6 year involvement with the group.

"I have very much enjoyed my time with Bonnier, but after a number of years as CEO, it was time for a fresh challenge," said Des.

Maria Curman, CEO of Bonnier Books, added, "It has been a pleasure to work with Des and I wish him every success for the future.  Bonnier is committed to its expansion in the English language children's book markets; the recent acquisition of Templar in the UK has been an important step in that process."

Richard Johnson, the current Bonnier Publishing Group CFO, will be appointed interim CEO following the Bologna Bookfair.

NEW YORK, U.S.—Saveur ranked #2 of 161 monthly magazines.  The Media Industry Newsletter reports that the food culture magazine gained 21.84 ad pages for April 2009.

Des will be very much missed, but I'll look forward to meeting Richard and working with him moving forward. Wishing Des all the very best for his next challenge.
