New
lifestyle publication, Delta Magazine, launched in the
Delta
|
Coopwood
Magazines, Inc., based in Cleveland, MS, has announced
the arrival of its new, full-color lifestyle publication,
Delta Magazine, which hit the market this
week. The magazine, which will initially be published
six times a year, will be mailed to a circulation
of approximately 16,000 in the Mississippi Delta,
and also be available at bookstores stretching from
Memphis to Jackson.
"We
are extremely excited about the premier issue of
our latest publication, Delta Magazine," says
J. Scott Coopwood, of Coopwood Magazines. "Every
issue will contain bright and beautiful focuses
on the homes, food, arts and entertainment that
is unique to the Delta," he says. "In
addition, in future issues, we'll be expanding our
editorial coverage to topics such as travel and
health care."
Coopwood said the need for such a glossy, upscale
publication for the Delta was identified some time
ago.

"Just
as we saw a huge vacuum in our region which the Delta
Business Journal filled over five years ago,"
Coopwood says, referring to the monthly business newspaper
he also publishes, "we saw a need for a high quality
magazine that truly captures what makes the Delta great.
Therefore, Delta Magazine was given the go-ahead
six months ago. This publication will be comparable to
similar magazines coming out of Atlanta and New Orleans
and will go a long way in promoting the Delta to the rest
of the state and around the country."

Coopwood
says the first issue of Delta Magazine
will be mailed to 15,000 homes in the Delta and
surrounding counties. People can then subscribe
to the magazine or purchase it in bookstores across
the Delta, Jackson, Oxford and Memphis.
Coopwood,
the publisher, will be joined on the staff by Delta
Business Journal Executive Editor, Jack Criss,
who will have the same title with Delta Magazine.
Melissa Baker Townsend, a Delta native and University
of Mississippi School of Journalism graduate, has
been named the magazine's editor.
"We are very fortunate to have someone with
Melissa's skill and enthusiasm on board with us
as we launch Delta Magazine," Coopwood
says. "She was born and raised in Indianola
and now lives in Belzoni, so she obviously knows
the Delta. In addition, Melissa spent several years
after Ole Miss working with a weekly newspaper in
Chicago. So, she brings to her position as editor
'big city' skills coupled with 'New South' charm,"
Coopwood laughs.
