Boston Common is a regional luxury lifestyle magazine established in 2005[2]. The magazine covers a range of topics including art, beauty, business, culture, dining, entertainment, fashion, interior design, jewelry and watches, nightlife, philanthropy, real estate, society, and travel, with a focus on the Boston and New England region. It primarily targets Boston's affluent residents.[3]
History and profile
editThe magazine was founded by Jason Binn, who was then CEO of Niche Media [2], a publisher of several luxury lifestyle magazines such as Hamptons magazine, Ocean Drive, and Gotham.
Initially planned to be named Boston CommonWealth, Jason Binn and Niche Media encountered a legal dispute over trademark infringement with CommonWealth magazine, a publication of the Massachusetts Institute for a New Commonwealth [4]. This led to the rebranding of the magazine as Boston Common in May 2005. [5]. At the same time, the magazine addressed claims from Boston magazine regarding the use of advertising data. [6] Despite these early challenges, Boston Common debuted its first issue in September 2005.
In 2014, Niche Media rebranded as GreenGale Publishing,[7], and in 2017, Boston Common became apart of Modern Luxury when GreenGale was acquired.[8]
Boston Common is published ten times a year, increasing its frequency from six times a year in 2018. [9] Abby Bielagus has been serving as Editor-in-Chief since mid-2023.[10] Previous editors-in-chief include Antonia DePace, Lisa Pierpont, Janice O'Leary, Terri Stanley, and Kim Atkinson. On the business side, Janelle Driscoll has been serving as Publisher since late 2023, [11], following predecessors such as Carin Keane and Glen Kelley.
In 2018, Modern Luxury launched Interiors Boston, a sister publication to Boston Common focusing on luxury home design. [9]
Events and editorial features
editBoston Common hosts various invite-only events throughout the year, including galas, issue release cocktail parties, and intimate dinner parties.
The magazine has numerous annual editorial special features that highlight notable local contributions such as the "Best of Beauty Awards" in March, [12] the "Travel Awards" in May, [13] and the "Best of the City Awards" in July. [14] Other notable features include the 'Power List' and the 'Most Fashionable Bostonians'.
Boston Common frequently features celebrities with connections to New England on its cover. Notable cover stars include singer-songwriter Steven Tyler, who appeared as the debut cover star in 2005[15] and again in 2011 [16] ; athlete David Ortiz in both 2007 and 2016 [17]; and model and actress Olivia Culpo in 2017 [18]. More recent cover stars include actress Natalie Portman in 2022 [19] and actress Julianne Moore in 2023 [20]
