Award-Winning Magazine Editor Sido Kitchin Launches New Media Venture, School Road Publishing
Veteran magazine editor Sido Kitchin today announces School Road Publishing, a new media venture which will launch four local lifestyle magazines online and in print from October.
“I know how much New Zealanders love magazines, taking them into their hearts and homes across generations. It’s a buoyant market for mags right now and in a COVID world, readers are relishing the comfort, connection and inspiration they bring. I’m thrilled to have this opportunity to create fresh, new titles that will enhance Kiwi lives with 100 percent locally-generated content and I look forward to announcing the brands and their editors shortly,” says Kitchin, Group Publisher, School Road Publishing.
School Road Publishing is a standalone business based at advertising agency Stanley St. Paul Dykzeul, former Bauer Australia-New Zealand CEO, will join the board and consult to the publishing business.
