Patricia Steele, senior VP corporate media relations, is out at Conde Nast as the toney publisher continues tweaking its PR under the watchful eye of chief administrative officer Jill Bright.

The magazine's PR had been centralized under long-time chief Maurie Perl, who exited in January.

Bright now has publicists working directly with publishers and editors, according to a report in WWD.

McGraw-Hill veteran Patricia Rockenwagner joined CN a month following Perl's exit in the senior VP-corporate communications capacity.

Steele had handled press-related issues and reported to Rockenwagner.

CN’s magazines include New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Vogue, Self, Glamour, Wired, Lucky, W and Golf Digest.
