Here's a few things of interest that happened last week while we took a break from magazine news to cover the National Magazine Awards.
Mediaweek reported magazines like The Economist were unable to deliver magazines to subscribers in Southern Europe, the Middle East and Africa due to the grounding of flights from the Icelandic volcanic eruption. The interruption was also bad news for newsstand sales.
Body image and self esteem champion Jillian Michaels--a trainer on TV's "The Biggest Loser," is getting flack for her comments she made on adoption/pregnancy in the latest issue of Women's Health magazine. The comments that have sparked the buzz include, "I'm going to adopt. I can't handle doing that to my body. This isn't the first time Jillian Michaels' comments sparked outrage; last year she angered Oprah Winfrey fans when she called the talk-show hostess' health awareness "utterly misguided" in Health magazine.
New York magazine's popular back-page column "Approval Matrix," is going to be a TV series. Michael Hirschorn, a former executive editor at New York magazine and now a TV producer, sold the show to Bravo. Like the magazine column, a rotating panel of pop culture pundits will decide whether the week's most buzz-worthy items are "Highbrow Brilliant," "Highbrow Despicable," "Lowbrow Brilliant" or "Lowbrow Despicable."
JONES magazine, a 5-year-old regional fashion and style magazine launched last week. The magazine is written for African-American and multicultural women; Supermodel Veronica Webb is featured on the first nationally-distributed issue.
And lastly, a new magazine for parents on the go called Traveling with Babies & Kids magazines will launch in the fall.
That's a sad reason for adopting, Jillian should rethink that statement.
