I noticed that lots of job sites/applications you fill out when you go on an interview, tend to have specific information requested about your references (including Employer and Position). I know that if you are providing the references via email, you can always put their current job and include a note after each reference stating their relation to you… But what happens when there’s no space provided for comments in an official job application you have to fill out? What information should you include: your reference’s current employment info, or their relation to you (i.e. they were Creative Director while you worked at the company, but now have moved to another company altogether with a new job function). Most of my references have changed jobs since I worked with them. Also, when you are writing the address/contact info for the places you have worked… What happens if that magazine closed down? I was laid off from a magazine that folded… So there’s no address/phone number I can provide. Should I leave that info blank?

I would go with their relation to you when you were co-workers. Employers will be more interested in your interactions with this person while employed at the same company as opposed to where you both went afterward.
Since the magazine folded, just leave a brief note explaining such followed by the most current contact info you have on hand. After putting the person’s name and relationship to you, write “[Name of old publication] folded; last known position of [Name of reference] is [Position] at [New Publication]. Contact info: [available info or “unknown”].” That should be enough to give an interviewer a decent explanation without going into too much detail.
