Boston Common is a regional luxury lifestyle magazine established in 2005[2]. The magazine covers a range of topics including art, beauty, business, culture, dining, entertainment, fashion, interior design, jewelry and watches, nightlife, philanthropy, real estate, society, and travel, with a focus on the Boston and New England region. It primarily targets Boston's affluent residents.[3]

History and profile

[edit]

The magazine was founded by Jason Binn, who was then CEO of Niche Media [2], a publisher of several luxury lifestyle magazines such as Hamptons, Ocean Drive, and Gotham magazines.

Initially planned to be named Boston CommonWealth, Jason Binn and Niche Media encountered a legal dispute over trademark infringement with CommonWealth magazine, a publication of the Massachusetts Institute for a New Commonwealth [4]. This led to the rebranding of the magazine as Boston Common in May 2005. [5]. At the same time, the magazine addressed claims from Boston magazine regarding the use of advertising data. [6] Boston Common debuted its first issue in September 2005.

In 2014, Niche Media rebranded as GreenGale Publishing,[7], and in 2017, Boston Common became apart of Modern Luxury when GreenGale was acquired.[8]

Boston Common is published ten times a year, increasing its frequency from six times a year in 2018. [9] Abby Bielagus has been serving as Editor-in-Chief since mid-2023.[10] Previous editors-in-chief include Antonia DePace, Lisa Pierpont, Janice O'Leary, Terri Stanley, and Kim Atkinson. On the business side, Janelle Driscoll has been serving as Publisher since late 2023, [11], following predecessors such as Carin Keane and Glen Kelley.

In 2018, Modern Luxury launched Interiors Boston, a sister publication to Boston Common focusing on luxury home design. [9]

Events and editorial features

[edit]

Boston Common hosts various invite-only events throughout the year, including galas like the Holiday Gift Guide Gala, issue release cocktail parties, and intimate dinner parties. [12]

The magazine has numerous annual editorial special features that highlight notable local contributions such as the "Best of Beauty Awards" in March, [13] the "Travel Awards" in May, [14] and the "Best of the City Awards" in July. [15]

Boston Common frequently features celebrities with connections to New England on its cover. Notable cover stars include singer-songwriter Steven Tyler, who appeared as the debut cover star in 2005[16] and again in 2011 [17] ; athlete David Ortiz in both 2007 and 2016 [18]; and model and actress Olivia Culpo in 2017 [19]. More recent cover stars include actress Natalie Portman in 2022 [20] and actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas in 2023. [21]
