In its second recent top editor change, Bauer Publishing Group has elevated Tina Donvito to run Twist, one its teen-centric celebrity titles. Donvito started at Bauer in 2005 as deputy editor of M and most recently was Twist’s executive editor. She replaces Molly MacDermot, who had had editorial oversight for both Twist and M magazine and will now focus solely on M.
 
Twist, circulation 254,372, is positioned as a teen- and tween-aimed version of Bauer’s fashion and beauty-focused Life & Style, while the 445,938-circ M is fashioned as a junior version of its celebrity news weekly In Touch.
 
The appointment comes just over a week after Bauer named Donna Armstrong as editor of Life & Style, succeeding Richard Spencer. Spencer had been acting editor of Life & Style since September 2007 as well as editor of In Touch; he continues as Life & Style’s editorial director.
