SHAPE Magazine Debuts Redesign With May 2018 Issue

SHAPE magazine, Meredith Corporation’s (NYSE:MDP; www.meredith.com) leading millennial women’s active lifestyle brand with an audience of more than 14 million, today unveiled its inaugural redesign issue.

Incorporating both new editorial content and an elevated look and feel, the new SHAPE provides the service that today’s woman desires: beauty and style advice that adapts to her busy life; ways to discover the joys of healthy and delicious eating; relatable tips for health and relationships; and innovative ways to keep her body strong and fit. The May 2018 issue, featuring actress Kate Mara on the cover, hits newsstands April 17.

SHAPE Editor in Chief Elizabeth Goodman Artis led the reimagination of this iconic brand. “Today women want what we call the well-lived life, a more holistic approach to health and happiness,” Goodman Artis said. “They know that nurturing one part of life feeds and refreshes another. We want SHAPE to reflect this philosophy.”

New sections that reflect today’s women’s priorities include:
•BE Waterproof – The updated beauty section is empowering and personal, with products and ideas that work hard to make active, busy women look and feel their best.
•BE the Style – This expanded fashion section inspires women to define and embrace their own unique personal style.
•BE Food Curious – The new food section is about experimenting and having fun, cooking with family and friends, and getting excited about eating food that’s as good tasting as it is good for you.
•BE Health Wise – SHAPE’s health section focuses on culturally relevant physical and mental health topics.
•BE Strong & Fit – This revitalized fitness section offers a deep-dive exploration into the fascinating science and stories behind everyday exercise. The section also includes SHAPE’s signature Body Shop feature.

The redesigned SHAPE leads off with the Next Level Living section, a vibrant, engaging, highly visual blend of the coolest, most conversation-worthy products, ideas, and people. It concludes with Impact, a back-page conversation with an influencer or a celebrity on what impacts her life and how she impacts the world around her. The SHAPE cover, as always, will feature an inspiring celebrity while continuing its evolution to further emphasize her entire lifestyle and personality.

Booksellers and librarians agree: young readers are fueling the printed book boom

Millennials and Gen Z are known as “robust samplers,” meaning they are accustomed to a risk-free subscription model for media consumption. Think Netflix, Amazon Unlimited, Audible, and Spotify. As it turns out, according to a new report from the American Library Association (ALA), “in the traditional, print-centered book publishing ecosystem, libraries are the place for robust sampling.” According to the new report Gen Z and Millennials: How They Use Public Libraries and Identify Through Media Use, Gen Z and Millennials (roughly ages 13 to 40) are using public libraries, both in person and digitally, at higher rates than older generations.

How Money-Media Converted Free Subscriptions to Paid Newsletters

There are countless free newsletters in B2B publishing, as well there should be. Newsletters do great things. They are the number one traffic builder for most niche verticals, since social media and search only go so far in bringing hydrocarbon experts or facility managers to your site repeatedly. Sending daily - or at least weekly - newsletters keep people clicking through to your website, where hopefully you have effective contextual content and offers to get them to stick around. Each one also provides desirable advertising sales opportunities. You can’t have enough sub-niche newsletters in my book. This also keeps your brand vital in your market. If you send less frequently than weekly, your content remains an afterthought.
