GO
will both inspire a hunger for great travel experiences and provide the tools to make them a reality. In each issue, 国产吃瓜黑料‘s

The new magazine is committed to providing extensive service in its features and departments so that its readers will say, “I want to do that!” and “Yeah, that’s how I can do it.” 国产吃瓜黑料‘s

Lawrence J. Burke, chairman of Mariah Media and editor in chief of 国产吃瓜黑料, has teamed up with Donald Welsh, 国产吃瓜黑料’s first publisher, for the launch of 国产吃瓜黑料‘s
GO
. Welsh was named the leading entrepreneur of the last 20 years by Media Industry Newsletter, having launched more than 25 magazines since 1977. Kent Black, editor of 国产吃瓜黑料‘s
GO
, has been a writer and editor for magazines such as 国产吃瓜黑料, Rolling Stone, Details, Men’s Journal, and the New York Times Magazine. Jake Hill, publishing launch director of 国产吃瓜黑料‘s
GO
, most recently served as the publisher of Spin and has more than 15 years experience in magazines.
“Thirty years ago, we recognized a developing trend and launched 国产吃瓜黑料, which defined the active lifestyle category,” said Burke. “Now, with 国产吃瓜黑料‘s
GO
, we’ve identified an emerging trend among a select market segment, exemplified by the top end of 国产吃瓜黑料’s readership. These are men who are both professionally successful and passionate about their other pursuits. They are committed to a kind of adventurous and rarefied travel with the amenities and style to match.”
The ideal reader of 国产吃瓜黑料‘s
GO
is sophisticated and has the means to experience travel on a level that few others can. “Our guy keeps himself fit, not only so he can be proficient in the activities he loves but for the level of good-natured competition he enjoys with friends both old and new,” said editor Kent Black. “These are guys who relish the adventures and good times they can have with their best pals, whether it’s fishing private water out of an exclusive lodge in Iceland, cycling from chateau to chateau in France’s Loire Valley, helicopter skiing virgin slopes in the Chilean Andes, or taking a bareboat charter out on the Great Barrier Reef for a week of sailing and diving. These are guys who know that true success in life is measured by the quality of one’s experiences.”
国产吃瓜黑料‘s
GO
projects a 90 percent male readership-a dramatic departure from most top travel publications, which have female readerships of 65 to 70 percent. Readers of 国产吃瓜黑料‘s
GO
will have an average household income of more than $150,000 and a net worth of almost $1.5 million. The upscale travel magazine will satisfy a super-affluent audience aged 35-plus, which has the means, passion, and experience to pursue the elite world of adventurous, stylish travel.
“Mariah Media is uniquely positioned to publish 国产吃瓜黑料‘s
GO
, the first major upscale active travel magazine for men,” said Don Welsh, publisher. “Having published 国产吃瓜黑料 for nearly 30 years, Larry Burke and the Mariah team understand energetic, competitive, well-heeled guys and the unique blend of travel and lifestyle they want.”
