Year" list.
In its first year on newsstands, The Magnolia Journal has
showcased the monumental presence and impact of Chip and Joanna Gaines and their Magnolia brand.

Spring 2018 issue.
Under the editorial direction of Joanna
Gaines, the magazine brings the Magnolia brand—which she and her husband Chip
founded in Waco, Texas—to life in

Adweek's Annual Hot List last month and won several FOLIO
awards in its premier year, including two Ozzies and an Eddie.

Journal. Launching just over a year ago, the Magnolia brand has
a tremendous presence in the marketplace to consumers and
advertisers," said Meredith's
President of the National Media Group, Jon
Werther. "The Magnolia Journal is one of Meredith's many outstanding titles, and we are
looking forward to continued success in 2018."
