Hearst publishers and chief editors are bracing for a sweeping round of changes in the near future as Troy Young moves to shake things up in his new role as president of Hearst Magazines. However, Michael Clinton, the president of advertising, looks like he will spared, sources say.

He, along with ex-Chief Content Officer Joanna Coles and Young, were all the top lieutenants to former Hearst magazines President David Carey, who became chairman of the division with the elevation of Young on July 25.

Coles quickly resigned last Friday — news that was first revealed on nypost.com. Her farewell video on Instagram posted Monday quickly went viral. In it, she is filmed working on her treadmill desk station in the Hearst Tower and told viewers, “my route is being redirected. It’s time for a new adventure.” She promised news “in the fall” and ended by turning off the treadmill and stepping away.

Clinton, according to insiders, had a smoother relationship than Coles did with Young, who is known for a brusque, sometimes abrasive, style that stands in sharp contrast to that of his predecessor, Carey. “It will be interesting to see how his [Young’s] style plays out,” said one insider. “He’s a little rough around the edges.”
