LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
                          W
                                            hoever coined the old saw “If it ain’t broke,
                                            don’t fix it” clearly never worked in maga-
                                            zine publishing. Staying current, on-point
                                            and habit-forming for readers requires
                         constant fine-tuning in today’s dynamic media landscape. To
                         that end, PHOENIX magazine is fine-tuning like nobody’s
                         business in 2019.
                            It would be easy for us to cite our performance at Valley
                         newsstands as the most-purchased and most-read monthly
                         periodical in Arizona – beating titles like Sunset, Cosmopol-
                         itan and O, The Oprah Magazine by a whopping 25 to 30
                         percent – and stand pat. Instead, we’ll unveil a completely
                         redesigned and reconceived front-of-the-book section in the
                         second quarter, with a more nimble editorial scheme focus-
                         ing on wellness, local business, things to do and the person-
                         alities who define the Valley.
                            Look for the remodel in April’s Top Docs, our perenni-
                         al best seller and flagship issue. A mainstay in physician
                         waiting rooms across Greater Phoenix, Top Doctors enjoyed
                         its most robust balloting ever last year, with almost 3,000
                         Valley doctors casting votes to name the “best of the best”
                         among their peers, sealing Top Docs as the Valley’s health-
                         care reference of record. We expect an even bigger response
                         in 2019.
                            In the spirit of continuity, we’re also doubling down on
                         some new features we debuted last year, including keeping
                         our annual Summer Getaways issue in the shoulder month
                         of May, which gives our advertisers the opportunity to target
                         summer travelers during prime planning season. We’ll also
                         be unveiling our second annual 40 Under 40 issue, celebrat-
                         ing the rising entrepreneurs, philanthropists, artists, ath-
                         letes and educators who are carrying our city to greatness.
                         Look for it in June.
                            The rest of 2019 is an exciting mix of the new and the
                         proven: first-time concepts like March’s Best Spring Ever
                         and December’s Live Like a Tourist, and popular mainstays
                         like Best of the Valley (August) and Arizona Wine Country
                         (October).
                            Need more proof that 2019 will be a soaring year for
                         PHOENIX? Stop by Phoenix Sky Harbor’s Terminal 3 this
                         winter and visit the new Best of the Valley retail store,
                         where our vivid photography and one-of-kind stories will
                         hook untold throngs of inbound and outbound travelers.
                            Just to be fair, we might carry a few copies of Cosmo, too.
                         We’re pretty confident our lead will hold up.
