THE WOODEN HORSE MAGAZINE NEWS November 16, 2008 By Meg Weaver, Editor-in-Chief/Publisher, mweaver@woodenhorsepub.com Copyright (c) 2008 Wooden Horse Publishing ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear readers, Finally, a "good news" issue. Sort of. First, ADVERTISING AGE* announced its "A List," the ten outstanding magazines of the past year, at the recent American Magazine Conference. With additional data by John Harrington's The Single Copy newsletter, the list reveals some interesting newsstand facts; ("Sell-through" refers to the percentage of units shipped and are actually sold - Wikipedia): 1) THE ECONOMIST*, published by The Economist Group: 2) WOMEN'S HEALTH*, published by Rodale: 3) ELLE*, published by Hachette Filipacchi Media US: 4) EVERY DAY WITH RACHAEL RAY*, published by Reader's Digest Association: 5) NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC*, published by National Geographic Society: 6) FAST COMPANY*, published by Mansueto Ventures: 7) NEW YORK*, published by New York Media: 8) PEOPLE STYLEWATCH*, published by Time Inc: 9) HOUSE BEAUTIFUL*, published by Hearst Magazines: 10) CONDE NAST TRAVELER*, published by Conde Nast Publications. Newsstand average 30,983 (down 5.8%). Here's another "good news" list: The Fall 2008 MRI magazine audience research showed many magazines gaining readers - and in a broad spectrum of categories, including those that are supposed to be suffering. Some examples from the mediapost.com article: FORBES* enjoyed a 10% increase in its audience from full year 2007-2008...while COOKING LIGHT* saw its total audience increase 8%. AARP THE MAGAZINE* grew 8%. HEALTH* grew 9%; IN TOUCH WEEKLY* jumped 19%; MEN'S FITNESS* grew 16% while competitor MEN'S HEALTH* rose a more modest 5%; REAL SIMPLE* jumped 14%. And for the rest of this newsletter, well...the lay-offs announced this week are smaller than those previously reported. We guess that's a "good" in these times.
Elsewhere in the industry: Publisher Time Inc continued its announced layoffs this week, according to adage.com. PEOPLE*, SPORTS ILLUSTRATED*, FORTUNE* and TIME* started seeking volunteers for buyouts this week, with plans for involuntary layoffs if not enough people raise their hands. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY*and ESSENCE*, however, has moved directly to layoffs. EW is laying off 15 to 20 staffers, primarily from editorial. Essence is eliminating positions for three or four people on the editorial side and another four or five people from the business side. And, the Christmas party is off. Top editors and publishers at both magazines, however, are safe... WASHINGTON CEO has a new owner, Minneapolis-based Tiger Oak, and will be merged with the new owner's SEATTLE BUSINESS magazine. Washington CEO was owned by Sabey Corporation, a real-estate firm from Chicago... CAPE ANN is a quarterly that targets residents of the eponymous coastal area of MA. The glossy spotlights local arts, businesses, history, trends, and people, and includes articles on fashion, food, home, and the outdoors. Ray Lamont is the editor-in-chief. North of Boston Media Group is the publisher... PRESTIGE NEW YORK, a planned launch from CR Media, has announced that former Rolling Stone publisher Ray Chelstowski will head up the title's business side.

TODAY IN OT is a bimonthly that targets occupational therapists.

Marianne Outzen is the editor of the title, which is published by Gannett Co. Occupational therapists in some areas of the US are entitled to receive the magazine for free... GARDENING LIFE* and WISH, both owned by Canadian publisher St Joseph Media, will be closed by the end of the year. Gardening Life will morph into an annual Home and Garden issue for TORONTO LIFE*. Wish will become a stand-alone website and a "20-Minute Supper Club" annual magazine at the beginning of 2009... HAWAII SPORT launched this year as a free bimonthly. It is aimed at Hawaiian triathletes and those who cross train. Content includes running, swimming, biking, upcoming events, training programs, and race results.

Publisher Doubledown Media (TRADER MONTHLY*, PRIVATE AIR, CIGAR REPORT) has announced layoffs of about a dozen staffers and three others were placed on furlough. 10 executives have been asked to take a temporary 50% pay cut, including President and Editorial Director Randall Lane. Principal backer, media entrepreneur Jim Dunning, has said he continues to fund the operation, noting that he "just transferred more money" yesterday. He is now in for about 7 million... NO DEPRESSION, a bimonthly that ceased publication with the May/Jun issue, relaunched in Oct as a biannual. Fans of alt-country music are the target audience. Content includes concert and album reviews. Peter Blackstock and Grant Alden are the editors of the magazine, which is distributed in the US and now published by the University of Texas Press. Details on submitting press releases about artists, music, music reviews, illustrations, and photographs are posted at http://nodepression.com/FAQ.aspx... ELEGANT BRIDE* is not dead, contrary to all the rumors. Publisher Jennifer Hicks wrote in an email: "Elegant Bride is alive and well with a growing circulation. We are just closing our Winter issue, which will be on the newsstands December 23. The next issue will be the Spring issue."... NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC* has laid off 13 at its DC headquarters, according to mediabistro.com. By year end, Society-wide, they expect 5 to 10% of the staff to have been laid off... SILK PURSE WOMEN is a regional quarterly that targets NJ's women over 40. Content focuses on professional challenges and successes, philanthropic opportunities, community outreach, workplace diversity and parity, care giving tips, living longer and healthier, and nationally prominent people. Christine Spear is the editor-in-chief of the magazine, which has a readership of 60,000+ and is distributed nationally by subscription... The fabled Conde Nast Christmas luncheon for its top editors, publishers and selected executives at the Four Seasons restaurant, won't happen this year. How is the New York magazine world going to kick off the holiday season now? How are they going to find out who at Conde Nast is in favor (or not) depending on how close they sit to Chairman SI Newhouse? Will the world end?... CHINESE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHY INTERNATIONAL will launch in January as the English edition of CHINESE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHY. It will target "overseas Chinese who are keen to rediscover their roots, international executives who travel frequently to China, and anyone who is interested in [the culture and geography of] China."

The magazine will be sold in the US, Singapore, Hong Kong, mainland China, Australia, India, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, New Zealand, Taiwan, and Thailand... Even THE ECONOMIST* is laying off a dozen workers - somewhat modest compared to other top magazines. Some of the pink slips were due to an earlier reorganization and the majority came from The Economist Intelligence Unit, the group's business-to-business publishing arm... BIKE MONKEY launched on February 18 as a quarterly that targets bicycle enthusiasts. Content includes interviews with professional cyclists, cycling advocates, and folks who commute on bicycles; the biking lifestyle; bike construction; time-trial race courses; physical and non-physical problems encountered while facing the world on a bike; bike humor; creative writing; and inspiration. Carlos Perez is the editor-in-chief/publisher of the magazine, which is available in Sonoma County, CA bike shops and nationally by subscription... BACKPACKER* and YOGA JOURNAL* publisher Active Interest Media has laid off 23 employees, representing about 10% of its workforce. The cuts, according to a spokesperson, were made across "most divisions" and were "non-revenue producing" positions. Yet, CEO Efrem "Skip" Zimbalist wrote in an e-mail to foliomag.com: "...those who are leaving were real contributors to our success."... C-ARTS is a new bimonthly that targets art enthusiasts. Content features art, artists, galleries, museums, exhibitions, fairs, and auctions that focus on contemporary art in Asia, especially South East Asia, as well as international problems or events that influence art. Editor-in-chief Eddy Soetriyono is based in Singapore, but the magazine, which is produced by United Univers Publishing Pte Ltd, is available internationally... CondéNet, which manages some, but not all, of media giant Condé Nast's web operations, is cutting staff "across the board." This means cuts at Wired.com, Epicurious.com and Style.com, and other sites. The number of layoffs was not disclosed. So much for publishers believing in digital being their future... The online magazine SLATE, on the other hand, is working on launching another web magazine: DOUBLE X, a magazine "by women but not just for women." It is a spin-off of the "XX Factor" blog and is planned for the spring. The blog will be at the heart of the site, but it will also publish essays, reporting, and other features. Interested contributors should send a note to doublex.slate@gmail.com... GATHERED will be the new name of the St Petersburg edition of THE FLORIDA CATHOLIC. The new magazine, which will focus on evangelization, teaching, and diocesan news, will be published bimonthly, in contrast to the newspaper, which was published weekly and ceased operation with the Oct 24 issue. Janet Shelton is the editor of the title, which will be published by the Diocese of St. Petersburg. In a few months, about 140,000 copies will be mailed to all registered Catholics in the five counties covered by the Diocese... Magazines Canada, the Canadian equivalent of the US industry organization Magazine Publishers of America, has realized that tough economic times mean that you have to promote yourself more, not less. This is borne out by numerous marketing studies. They have hired advertising agency Zulu Alpha Kilo on a project basis to promote magazines to agencies and advertisers. "The Canadian magazine industry is doing very well serving its readers and advertisers," said Gary Garland, Magazines Canada executive director, advertising services. "But in this [economic] climate, we determined we needed a strong new promotional tactic to make that point."... SNAPPED debuted in February as a quarterly showcasing photography of the African continent. The magazine, from Bell-Roberts Publishing, also features interviews with photographers, technology reviews, previews, and listings of events, books, and exhibitions. Editor Brendon Bell-Roberts is based in South Africa, but the magazine is available internationally by subscription. Submissions from established and emerging photographers are welcome. Details are posted at http://snapped.co.za/submissions... The Audit Bureau of Circulations' November issue of its ABC NewsBulletin published that the organization has formed a digital advisory committee, which has held its first meeting. The committee will help the organization "examine trends, business opportunities and ABC's role in auditing emerging media." The committee's recommendations and input are funneled directly to the ABC board of directors. Also, ABC reported that Maghound sales will be reported as single copy sales. Maghound is a Netflix-like membership program, where members can switch between subscriptions... WEATHERFORD launched in September as a free quarterly that targets residents of the eponymous Texas town. Content includes sports, politics, community service, health, and a calendar of local events. Phil Riddle is the editor of the magazine, which is published by The Lone Star News Group....

A recently vacated editorial researcher position will also not be filled... IRISH QUILTING debuts this month and targets women, primarily those who are under 40.

Sherry Nugent is editor of the bimonthly, which is published by Irish Quilting Ltd. Circulation in North America is 5,000; in the UK, 3,500; and in Ireland and Northern Ireland, 1,500... Some highlights from consumer marketing and sales EVP Brian Wolfe in a memo about Time Inc's reorganization: "Each of our magazine and digital properties will be assigned to a brand leader, who will set strategic direction for our consumer activities and manage the P&L for their respective magazines. Their focus will include net paid and rate base planning, research, relationships with edit and ad sales, audience development, branding, and newsstand" and "All of our marketing efforts will be centralized in a team...[which] will manage the new business and retention activities for all of our magazines. There will be a new business and retention director and each business unit will have a new business and retention manager and associate to support their marketing activities." Finally: "We will have relentless focus on activities and levers that drive the business. We'll have to prioritize and make difficult decisions on how we spend our time and allocate our resources. We need to be diligent about setting goals and not be distracted by requests or activities that are not in direct support of these goals."... Some additional interesting facts from the MRI Fall 2008 magazine audience study: Of the 250 or so titles included in the survey, just 19 reach an audience with a median household income of $100,000 or more, with United HEMISPHERES* ($127,571), VERANDA* ($119,736) and the ECONOMIST* ($118,146) topping the list. SOAP OPERA WEEKLY* ($32,163) and SOAP OPERA DIGEST* ($39,153), COOKING PLEASURE ($35,460) and READER'S DIGEST's SELECCIONES ($39,980) were among the magazines with the lowest-earning readers, while WWE ($40,003), LATINA* ($42,217) and VIBE* ($43,374) were not far behind...
Said This Week: According to mastheadonline.com, former editor of CHATELAINE*, Kim Pittaway, told a room full of editors gathered for a recent luncheon hosted by the Canadian Society of Magazine Editors: "If pay rates for freelancers don't increase, the Canadian publishing industry will end up with a pool of writers who consider magazine writing a hobby." With 25-30 magazine pieces published or scheduled to be published this year - about 40,000 words in total - Pittaway's total net income will work out to about $55,000. "That's less than my executive assistant was making when I was working at Chatelaine."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You are right. These are unusually challenging times. So, do you just fold up your tent and hide?
