Playboy Magazine Publisher Joins Penthouse Magazine

NEW YORK — Penthouse Media Group Inc. has named Diane Silberstein as president and publisher of its Magazine Group.

Silberstein will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Penthouse Publishing Group, overseeing the editorial, advertising, production and circulation of each Penthouse publication.

“Penthouse’s future look and voice will give the consumer entrée to an engaging mix of subjects, with the core benefit of feeling like an insider who holds the coveted key to unlocking a world of topics honed to the interests of young men,” Silberstein said.

Silberstein joins Penthouse from Playboy Magazine where she was vice president/publisher. Prior to Playboy, she was with Ziff Davis Media as Publisher of Yahoo Internet Life Magazine. She has also served as senior vice president/group publisher at Phase2Media, an internet advertising sales, marketing and promotional company, and was publisher of The New Yorker and Elle Magazines.

A Playboy spokesperson said the magazine will hire a search firm to find a replacement for Silberstein and would like a new publisher as soon as possible, though no timeframe has been set.

Additionally, Silberstein has held top positions with Allure and Vogue and began her career at Glamour Magazine.

“Diane is a respected executive in publishing and her expertise in a broad array of categories and knowledge of the business are key to Penthouse in growing the brand as a men’s lifestyle publication and extending the brand further across multi-media platforms,” Penthouse CEO Marc Bell said. “We are very excited to have Diane join our team. Her expertise and knowledge in the publishing arena is unsurpassed.”

Penthouse also recently announced the addition of another former Playboy employee, Mark Rudolph, as its new president of licensing. Rudolph previously served as former executive vice president and managing director of Playboy Television International.

Bell last week said its been the company’s strategy to recruit “top-notch talent for the relaunch of Penthouse.”
