CNN and Runner’s World Join Forces

2006-05-21T15:21:00.000-07:00

CNN’s senior medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta and Runner’s World Magazine editor in chief Willey met March 30 for CNN’s Fit Nation, part of Dr. Gupta’s and CNN’s nationwide university tour and initiative to encourage Americans to adopt healthier lifestyles and combat obesity. Held at Drexel University in Philadelphia, former president Bill Clinton spoke with Dr. Gupta and Drexel’s students about healthy eating as well as his own personal food cravings including French fries and Philly cheese steaks. Willey engaged audience members during a brainstorming session about things that could be done throughout the city to encourage a healthier, more active lifestyle – of course one that would include running. Quickly after the program, Willey headed out for his own burger and fries to Rouge, a local Philly restaurant but don’t worry – he had already burned off the calories during his morning run.

Cargo Magazine Ceases Publication

2006-04-03T18:06:00.000-07:00

Apparently the audience of men who want to read about $300 t-shirts wasn't strong enough to keep Cargo magazine afloat.

Condé Nast announced that it is pulling the plug on the men's shopping title it launched two years ago. The magazine's May 2006 issue will be its last.

"Although initial readership and advertising response were encouraging, we now believe the market will not support our business expectations," said Condé Nast CEO Charles Townsend in a company statement.

Cargo was the second in the trio of Condé Nast shopping magazines, beginning with Lucky, a shopping magazine for women, and continuing with last year's launch of Domino, which covers home products. The magazines operate with lean editorial staffs and are packed with charts and graphics.

Though it commissioned photography for larger features, Cargo relied heavily on Condé Nast's in-house photo studio overseen by studio director Jeffrey Schad.

Stephanie Prepon was the magazine's photo director, working with senior photo editor Allison Bonanno, photo manager Audrey Snyderman, photo editor Andrea Volbrecht and photo coordinator Christina Lozito, according to the masthead in a recent issue. The staff's last day is Friday, though a Condé Nast spokesperson said the company will try to find them other jobs within the company.

Aimed at men between 25 and 45, Cargo launched with a base rate of 300,000 and later increased it to 400,000. Cargo's most recent Audit Bureau of Circulation report shows that the magazine's circulation stalled just shy of 400,000 copies with the July/August issue and then took a dive, falling to 373,727 by December. About 20 percent of the sales were on the newsstand. The magazine was publishing ten issues a year had a cover price of $3.50. Cargo subscribers will get copies of Condé Nast title GQ until their subscriptions run out.

Cargo magazine is the third shopping mag gearted toward men to fold in recent months. Last year, Fairchild Publications, which is also part of Condé Nast Publications, ceased publishing Vitals, a shopping magazine with separate editions for men and women, and Ziff Davis shut down tech shopping magazine Sync.

Reader's Digest Buys Allrecipes.com

2006-03-31T20:09:00.000-08:00

The Reader's Digest Association announced Friday it would acquire Allrecipes.com, a community-based Web site geared for home cooks, for $66 million.

The eight year-old Allrecipies.com averages 6 million unique monthly users, according to Reader's Digest Magazine. The site, which has 1.8 million registered users, serves as a food-centric online social network, enabling home cooks to share and discover recipes.

Allrecipes.com will become a portal for all the company's food-related Web properties -- including the Web sites of the magazines Taste of Home and Every Day with Rachael Ray -- while delivering multiple cross-promotional opportunities, according to Eric Schrier, the association's president and CEO.

"Our acquisition of Allrecipes.com will provide us with a valuable digital platform to further leverage our position as the country's leading food and cooking publisher," he said. "It will enable us to bring together online communities from the various RDA properties using the common platform of an industry-leading food and cooking affinity."

Reader's Digest Magazine said that it expects the sale to close by the end of its fiscal fourth quarter, June 30, 2006.

Women's Magazines Tune In to QVC

2006-03-19T22:20:00.000-08:00

When viewers tune into TV shopping network QVC, they’re usually looking for a stellar deal on a flatscreen television or a Veg-o-Matic food processor. But recently, West Chester, Pa.-based QVC, the country’s largest TV retailer that in 2004 boasted $5.7 billion in sales, has become a new channel by which publishers are trying to sell magazine subscriptions.

First to test the waters was Condé Nast’s Lucky Magazine, which began its QVC partnership two years ago. More recently, sister title Allure Magazine and Time Inc.’s People Magazine have worked with QVC. The QVC foray is the latest effort by publishers to come up with creative ways to lure new readers as the newsstand becomes increasingly crowded and the cost of direct-mail campaigns steadily climbs.

“Direct mail is becoming a far less effective tool; people are so inundated with things in their mailbox,” said Coleen Kuehn, executive vp, chief strategist for MPG. “Direct mail is a push strategy, whereas QVC is more of a pull strategy, drawing in people who are looking to buy something. It’s a more welcomed offer than it would be in the mailbox.”

Print partnerships with QVC, which declined comment on this story, tend to range from experimental to long-term.

Lucky lends its editors to the network for segments for fashion trends; when Lucky-endorsed items are purchased by callers, QVC ships them a special edition of the magazine with customized network listings. QVC also offers $12 Lucky subs on its Web site.

Lucky reached 100,000 readers through the program last year, confirmed a Condé Nast spokesperson. “Our editors regularly appear on TV to be experts in their fields,” noted the CN rep. “QVC is one more example of this. In keeping with the format of QVC, we have also been given the opportunity to offer subscriptions during these appearances.”

Allure Magazine this month began featuring its editors on QVC to discuss beauty trends and now sells its subscriptions on the QVC site.

People Magazine in February opted to directly sell subscriptions during a two-minute segment. A People representative called the offer “experimental” and said “a decision to move forward on QVC has not been determined.” The rep declined to provide any sales figures.

In addition to magazines getting face time in 87 million QVC homes, the network’s demos mostly mesh with the magazines’ target audiences. Fashion-forward women comprise 75 percent of QVC’s audience, according to Mediamark Research Inc. And its median household income is well over $75,000, according to Kuehn.

That said, the median age of QVC viewers is 50, closer to People’s median age of 43, and much older than Allure’s and Lucky’s median ages of 32 and 33, respectfully. “Mothers could be buying the magazines for their daughters,” opined Kuehn.

Nevertheless, QVC’s female-heavy audience could be beneficial for older titles such as Meredith Corp.’s Ladies’ Home Journal.

Despite the promise of a new avenue to sell magazine subscriptions, “there’s probably a point where there’s overkill,” cautions Dan Capell, editor of Capell’s Circulation Report. “How many of these magazines can you have on in the course of a day?”

New Men's Magazines

2006-03-01T20:49:00.000-08:00

Long considered untouchable, men’s monthlies such as Dennis Pub- lishing’s Maxim Magazine and Stuff Magazine and Emap’s FHM Magazine cruised through the late 1990s and early 2000s by offering up a healthy dose of their trademark “beer and babes” formula. And few other titles targeting young guys came up with anything viable to challenge them.

But now, as Maxim Magazine and Stuff Magazine in particular are seeing their circulations plateau, a new generation of publications are preparing to take them on.

Two new titles—Time Inc.’s Office-Pirates.com, which launched last week, and Hachette Filipacchi Media’s Shock Magazine, which is due out May 31—will offer content online and in a weekly print magazine, respectively.

Budget Living to Cease Publication

2006-02-15T09:24:00.000-08:00

Women's lifestyle monthly, Budget Living Magazine, will cease publication after four years in the business. An official announcement is expected on Wednesday. About 50 staffers will be affected by the close. The magazine's March 2006 issue will be its last.

Budget Living's advice on shopping, home and entertaining for the cost-conscious consumer attracted a dedicated readership and earned an American Society of Magazine Editors' National Magazine Award for General Excellence in 2004. But the 500,000-circ monthly has remained in a state of flux since founding editor Sarah Gray Miller left last spring.

Owner Don Welsh shopped the title around as recently as December but failed to rope in a buyer. Welsh also unsuccessfully put Budget Living up for sale in 2004. (He had more success with Budget Travel Magazine, which he founded in 1998 and sold to Newsweek a year later.)
