History Condé Montrose Nast launched his magazine empire in 1909 with the purchase of Vogue, which was first created in 1892 as a New York weekly journal of society and fashion news. At first, Mr. Nast published the magazine under Vogue Company and didn’t incorporate Condé Nast Publications until 1923. In 1959, Samuel I. Newhouse, bought a controlling interest in Condé Nast, merging it with the privately held holding company Advance Publications. His son, S.I. Newhouse, Jr., became chairman of Condé Nast in 1975. In August 1999, Condé Nast purchased Fairchild Publications. One of Condé Nast's oldest titles, the American edition of House and Garden, ceased publication after the December 2007 issue. On October 31, 2006, Condé Nast acquired the content aggregation site Reddit, which was later spun off as a wholly owned subsidiary in September 2011. In July 2010, Robert Sauerberg became Condé Nast’s president, ushering in a new era less reliant on print adverting and increasingly focused on the development of digital platforms, innovative products and new marketing services to generate revenue. In May 2011, Condé Nast was the first major publisher to deliver subscriptions for the iPad, starting with The New Yorker; the company has since rolled out iPad subscriptions for nine of its titles. In the same month, Next Issue Media, a joint venture formed by five U.S. publishers including Condé Nast, announced subscriptions for Android devices, initially available for the Samsung Galaxy Tab. In June 2011, Condé Nast announced that it would relocate its headquarters to One World Trade Center in 2015.In September 2011, Condé Nast said it would offer 17 of its brands to the Kindle Fire, Amazon’s answer to Apple’s iPad.
