Pacific Edge Magazine, a new consumer magazine aimed at young professionals, launched its first issue this month.
The publication, printed in Hong Kong, features the lifestyles of working professionals between the ages of 22 and 39 and promotes Hawaii’s restaurants, fashion, travel and leisure activities, sports, the arts and nightlife.
Publisher Naomi Hazelton of Kauai says this is the only magazine that solely features young professionals. She says it was the brainchild of her practicum for master’s in corporate communication.
“I really wanted to showcase and spotlight Hawaii’s young professionals, young entrepreneurs, young CEOs — those up-and-coming who are able to take risks and make ends meet.”
“Hazelton is distributing 10,000 free copies to businesses statewide. It’s also available free at a few restaurants and Honolulu nightclubs. She plans to solicit paid subscriptions next year.
