Meredith’s FOOD & WINE Reveals New Look In June Issue

Meredith Corporation’s (NYSE: MDP, meredith.com) FOOD & WINE, the ultimate authority on food and drink culture, which reaches an audience of nearly 30 million people, announced today that its June issue marks the debut of a fresh editorial redesign. The issue is on newsstands today and is accessible at FoodandWine.com.

Since joining FOOD & WINE in June 2017, Editor-in-Chief Hunter Lewis has led the brand’s creative team to inspire and empower their audience to eat, drink, entertain, and travel better—every day and everywhere. The purpose of the magazine’s design evolution is to deliver a fresher look, a more joyful experience, and more service on every page.

“We’re excited to give coverage of food, recipes, and drink even more real estate in every issue,” said Lewis. “With any creative endeavor, the look will continue to evolve, as will our coverage of the chefs, winemakers, and tastemakers who are shaping our dynamic food and drink culture.”

FOOD & WINE’s evolving design is a celebration of print and what it does best: driving discovery and engagement. Updates featured in the June issue include the following:
•New Sections. A new section called At Home will cover décor, kitchen design, and a column called Cooks on Books, where food personalities like chef Nancy Silverton test new cookbooks by other food personalities like Nigella Lawson. The magazine’s back page will be called At My Table, where Gail Simmons, veteran Special Projects Director, will share a recipe, interview, city guide, or wine each month. The rebranded Travel section will include more wine region itineraries, chefs’ city guides, and restaurant openings.
•Expanded Content. Handbook, FOOD & WINE’s how-to recipe section, is moving to the front of the magazine and expanding to 12 pages in recognition that its readers want more hard-working techniques and recipes. Bottle Service, a section that focuses on wine, cocktails, and beer and is curated by Executive Wine Editor Ray Isle, will also expand to celebrate modern drink culture. The brand has also launched a new video vertical of the same name on FoodandWine.com to accompany the column.
•The Cover. FOOD & WINE’s covers will be bolder, more graphic, more timely, and geared toward bigger reveals on social media, especially Instagram. The brand will frame the theme of each issue to celebrate big brand moments and franchises, like the upcoming July Best New Chefs issue.

Meredith Corporation recently appointed Thomas J. Bair as Publisher of FOOD & WINE. A magazine media veteran, Bair has worked with other companies, including Tiger 21, WME-IMG, The Golf Digest Company, and Men’s Health.

Paper or Digital Communication: New Two Sides Survey Shows U.S. Consumers Want the Right to Choose

In an attempt to reduce costs, many banks, utilities, insurers and other service providers are switching consumers from paper to electronic bills and statements, often without their consent, and some are now charging fees to receive paper statements. Others are urging their customers to switch from paper to digital communication because it’s “green” or “better for the environment.” But a recent survey commissioned by Two Sides North America and conducted by international research firm Toluna found that consumers want the freedom to choose how they receive important communications from the companies they do business with. The Two Sides survey showed that 81% of U.S. consumers believe they should have the right to choose how they receive important communications from their service providers, on paper or electronically, and 73% believe they should not be charged more for choosing a paper bill or statement. These percentages increased from 2021 by 78% and 67%, respectively. While using the internet can be a quick and convenient way to transact business, companies that default customers to electronic communication put at risk many Americans who do not have broadband access, cannot afford it or have difficulty using the internet.

Special Alert: Opportunity to Push Postal Reform Legislation Through

Dear Catalog Industry Participant: Word out of Washington this week is encouraging for HR 756, the postal reform bill. According to our colleagues at the Coalition for a 21st Century Postal Service, there is increasing talk of adding postal reform to the Omnibus funding measure for the government next week, or to some other must-pass legislation that can serve as a vehicle. Both House and Senate leaders are reportedly interested, but we only have until next Thursday when the current continuing resolution runs out. So we’re calling on you for some urgent action. Our Ask and Your Ask: Please reach out as quickly as possible to as many Republican members of the House as you may have connections with and urge that postal reform be added to the Omnibus funding measure or some other moving piece of legislation. Your messages should conclude with an ask of your representative(s) to personally take this message to House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy. Click Read More below for additional information.

Simon & Schuster Acquires Dutch Publisher Veen Bosch & Keuning (publishersweekly.com)

Simon & Schuster has acquired Veen Bosch & Keuning, the largest Dutch book publishing house. The acquisition includes all of VBK's imprints in the Netherlands and Belgium, as well as its sister companies, the audiobook producer Thinium, and Bookchoice, a subscription-based platform for e-books and audiobooks. Financial terms of the cash acquisition, which is still subject to review, were not disclosed. The move marks the first major instance of a promised international expansion of S&S, which CEO Jonathan Karp alluded to last year following the acquisition of S&S by private equity firm KKR. The acquisition is also S&S's first of a non-English-language publisher, and provides the company a new foothold in the European market, where "the companies aim to provide a better avenue to sell, produce, and distribute... titles in Europe and to publish more S&S titles locally," as per a release.
