After developing the concept for this magazine with my graduate-school classmates at Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism, Raising Teens was purchased by Meredith Corporation in 1998. It was thrilling, and the proceeds from the sale funded a “Raising Teens” scholarship at the University. Very cool.
I followed the magazine to Meredith, where I was an integral member of a new-product development team that test-launched a 128-page Raising Teens magazine under the Better Homes and Gardens umbrella with a 250,000
print run.
Even years later, the mention of Raising Teens magazine puts a smile on my face.
