Time to visit the Real Housewives of Birmingham

Posted on May 7, 2010 | 1 comment

The current issue of Real Housewives of Birmingham has been unveiled. You’ve got to click the link we just shared to check it out, since it’s an online only publication.

Its creators describe the site on its Twitter profile as a “Birmingham, AL webazine for the housewives and workwives of the metro area.”

The publication includes features and a monthly events calendar.

Last night they sent out a tweet suggesting that they wanted to collect 500 hits before Mother’s Day this weekend. It sounds like a realistic goal – and a great excuse to head on over to the site and check it out.

Posted on July 3, 2009 | Leave a comment

This morning The Birmingham News picked up where the Birmingham Business Journal, Media of Birmingham and ourselves left off in terms of reporting on the end of skirt! Magazine’s affiliation with Media General.

However, earlier today, skirt! Birmingham’s Twitter feed shared a link to a post made by the director of digital media for skirt.com. It seems that fans of the site should keep an eye out for any additional news as it becomes available.

What’s next for skirt! in Birmingham?

Earlier this afternoon Skirt! Magazine here in Birmingham announced via its Twitter feed that it would no longer be associated with Media General, owners of NBC13HD. Subsequent tweets asked for anyone interested in helping save the magazine to contact them via direct message on Twitter (typing the letter “d” in front of their username (skirtBirmingham) or via email. The magazine was founded in 1994 in Charleston, SC and Birmingham is one of 23 markets currently served by it. They do plan to move forward with the local edition of the publication.

The Weekly’s going to be fine

Posted on October 2, 2008 | Leave a comment

There are only a few of us that even knew that Creative Loafing, Inc. was a minority owner of one of our local alternatives, Birmingham Weekly, before Tuesday’s report in the Birmingham Business Journal. While “The Loaf” prepares to go through (and hopefully successfully emerge from) Chapter 11 bankruptcy, The Weekly let us know that it’s going to be business as usual and that it should not be affected. If they follow the lead of CL though, we’ll begin to see a migration to an online product in the near future.
