hMAG, Hoboken, New Jersey’s premier lifestyle magazine, releases its January/February 2010 issue featuring America’s Next Top Model Cycle 4 winner Naima Mora and her identical twin sister, Nia Mora, on the cover. One of the most memorable contestants from Top Model history, Mora and her sister were photographed by River Clark, sticking to the Valentine’s Day theme of the issue.
hMAG is a high end, bi-monthly magazine, celebrating local businesses, history, culture, fashion, and the arts with articles featuring the people who live and work in “The Mile Square”. 15,000 complimentary issues are distributed to every doorstep in town, in every room of the prestigious W Hotel, as well as at Path and Ferry stops during rush hour, and to over 100 retail establishments.
hMAG’s website, with social networking features reminiscent of Facebook, will also display the images of the Top Model and the feature story about Hoboken bakeries. The social networking features on the site are built around the magazine’s contents and are designed to connect registered members to the vast and diversified Hoboken community. http://www.h-mag.com/.
My comment: Yet another contender and alternative to the Hoboken web and print landscape. The field of Hoboken websites is starting to get crowded but so far I am pleased with my little niche of political coverage sprinkled with other events in Hoboken. Perhaps this new magazine and website will start to compete seriously with other blogs in town that rely on advertising. We will have to see how this plays out. ◦
