Condé Nast Entertainment
book-to-film media company
Condé Nast Entertainment (CNE) is a production and distribution studio with film, television, social and online video, and virtual reality content. It is a division of Condé Nast.
CNE is headquartered at 1 World Trade Center.
Background
Previously, Condé Nast (CN) magazines were represented in Hollywood by agents and received production credit and fees for films made on their work. Brokeback Mountain, A Beautiful Mind, and Eat, Pray, Love, based on an Allure article, were all films based on CN content. Also, the "Whale War" show on Animal Planet originated with a Condé Nast magazine article. On the other hand, Conde Nast's Vogue refused in 2003 to partner on Project Runway for fear of tarnishing its image. With print growth slowing, CN indicated that the company would seek other revenue in licensing, e-commerce, video, and higher circulation prices.
History
Conde Nast Entertainment was started by magazine publisher Condé Nast in October 2011 with the hiring of Dawn Ostroff.
Online video channels for GQ and Glamour were launched in March 2013 with four original video series for each brand with Procter & Gamble, Microsoft and snack-food company Mondelēz International sponsoring those shows.

Why this record matters
“Condé Nast Entertainment” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Condé, Nast and Entertainment provides the most credible route into that argument.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16950846. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2003, 2011 and 2013.
Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
