Meredith Corp. publishes LHJ. It is a very weird company. That whole operation is likely to fold. They publish a whole bunch of similar fluff magazines. I’d be surprised if all of them hadn’t hyped Moose-hell in the last few years. Look for Hillary to be hyped as they go down the tubes.

My first wife worked for a subsidiary in Des Moines. They paid half-way decently but were practically slave-drivers and expected you to put the job first, before all other things.
I’ll point this out....LHJ had 3.2 million subscriptions. You can figure at least $12 a year (monthly edition). So, they were making $3.2 million....plus advertising profits (figure one million in that department). And they couldn’t sustain a profit with $4 million pouring in monthly? How and why?
Then you look at the location....New York City. You look at editors and various journalists. I’ll bet at least twenty-five people pulling in $125k in pay and benefits yearly. Toss in another thirty people who did graphic design, photos and pulling $75k a year in pay and benefits. They were burning through forty-eight million a year with all the costs involved.
So, only a suggestion. LHJ should have packed up a decade ago and moved to Charleston, SC or Knoxville, TN. They could have cut salary structure by fifty percent.
