American Media, Inc. Announces Men’s Journal Circulation Increase and Additional Brand Growth Investments

American Media, Inc. (AMI) today announced that it was further building on its recent investment in Men’s Journal by increasing the brand’s print circulation to 1.25 million, a 66% increase as current readers of Men’s Journal and Men’s Fitness will be receiving Men’s Journal beginning with the November issue. The integration is part of a broader strategic investment in Men’s Journal that also includes a frequency increase to 12 issues per year and enhancements in both the print and digital products. The brands will continue to maintain separate digital destinations at mensjournal.com and mensfitness.com.

“It’s clear, as evidenced by numerous third party research studies, that today’s affluent men are looking for, and eager to invest in, curated experiences and adventures,” said Men’s Journal Chief Revenue Officer Jay Gallagher. “AMI believes that Men’s Journal is well-positioned to meet these consumer demands by extending our national footprint and deepening our authority in this space with the addition of even more world-class editorial and the significant improvements in paper quality and trim size, so that we can continue to build on our position as the only destination for adventurous men.”

The increase in circulation positions Men’s Journal as a leading brand in the men’s lifestyle category. In addition to the increased reach, the print edition will feature nearly 50 additional pages of editorial content beginning with the November issue. The additional editorial will build upon the brand’s expertise in adventure, travel and gear, and additional fitness content from Men’s Fitness, while delivering the trusted and respected storytelling the brand has developed over the last 25 years.

“Today’s man doesn’t waste time and is more discerning in how he spends it than ever before,” said Men’s Journal Chief Content Officer Greg Emmanuel. “Making the upgrades in content, scale, and quality underscores that AMI and Men’s Journal, unlike anyone else in the industry, are willing to make investments to deliver on what today’s men need most.”

In addition MensJournal.com will also be introducing new products and experiences in the coming months including proprietary ad technologies built on engagement metrics, increased targeting capabilities, and an OTT experience in 2018.

U.S. Postal Service Announces Proposed Temporary Rate Adjustments for 2021 Peak Holiday Season

The United States Postal Service filed notice today with the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) regarding a temporary price adjustment for key package products for the 2021 peak holiday season. This temporary rate adjustment is similar to one in 2020 that anticipated heightened peak-season package and shipping demand, which typically results in extra handling costs. The planned peak-season pricing, which was approved by the Governors of the Postal Service on Aug. 5, would affect prices on commercial and retail domestic competitive parcels – Priority Mail Express (PME), Priority Mail (PM), First-Class Package Service (FCPS), Parcel Select, USPS Retail Ground, and Parcel Return Service. International products would be unaffected. Pending favorable review by the PRC, the temporary rates would go into effect at 12:00 a.m., Central Time, on Oct. 3, 2021, and remain in place until 12:00 a.m., Central Time, Dec. 26, 2021. This seasonal adjustment will bring prices for the Postal Service’s commercial and retail customers in line with competitive practices. No structural changes are planned as part of this limited pricing initiative.
