Alright, so yesterday we passed on word that Regent Media decided to shutter it's wanderlust-having quarterly, The Out Traveler.

In case you didn't see in the comments, the company's decided to spread the vagabond wealth.

First, there will be some sort of new and expanded website to take the supplement's place, and then journos are going to add an improved travel section to The Advocate, which will soon be relaunching.

There aren't going to be any "big shakeups," according to our insider, but that's what they always say. We'll let you know if more information trickles down.

Homos better find themselves a new travel rag. We're hearing that Regent Media cut the cord on The Out Traveler. Anyone know something? Want to tell something.

Holla!

Now that Next EIC Justin Ocean's jumping ship to head The Out Traveler, the weekly fag rag's looking for a new leader.

The New York-based magazine's publishers recently put an ad on Media Bistro and the job description includes this queer stipulation: "Must have ability to juggle extreme personalities of nightlife scene and advertisers."

"Extreme personalities" must be the polite way of saying, "Self-important, possibly drugged up diva fags from hell."

Justin Ocean knows us so well!

Last year we blew up the homo-journo's spot when he took over as editor of weekly fag rag Next. He and his staffers retaliated by circulating an uproarious press release. Well, to avoid any such scandals this year, Ocean confirmed rumors that he has been tapped to take over The Out Traveler:

Yes, official as of today, in mid January I'm leaving Next to take over the editor position at The Out Traveler. No drama or anything behind the decision; just a great opportunity that I couldn't pass up. I've freelanced for The Out Traveler and Gay.com/Planetout.com for the past few years so it's always been a direction I was interested in moving, even though I wasn't actively seeking a new job.

Despite its share of hefty moments, Next has been a ton of fun and an amazing, fulfilling place to work and really flex some creativity. I think over the past year my co-workers and pack of contributors and I have really upped the ante of what a fag rag can be, and I expect that whoever takes my place is going to continue that growth. Who that is… Don't know yet! The publisher and I are talking about candidates and looking around. Applications are being accepted.

Current print editor Matt Link apparently wants to spend more time on book projects or something…

Congratulations, Ocean! We know you've been around the block a few times, so we're sure your extensive experience will come in handy!
