Radhika Jones, the editor of Vanity Fair since 2017, said on Thursday she would step down after seven years of leading the magazine.

Ms. Jones, 52, said in an email to Vanity Fair’s staff that she was leaving to take on new challenges, adding that she didn’t want to experience the “horror of staying too long at the party.”

“I began to feel, more powerfully, the pull of new goals in my life, around family and friends and writing and other ways to make an impact,” Ms. Jones wrote.

Ms. Jones said in her email that her last day would be in the spring. Ms. Jones didn’t say who would succeed her.

Ms. Jones started in the job in December 2017, succeeding Graydon Carter, who retired that year after 25 years at the helm. She was previously the editorial director of the books department at The New York Times.
