Update. As we promised (PRN, Feb. 14) MH-17, Rodale's
health/lifestyle magazine for boys 13-17, is ready to be pitched. But don't
send email. Editor and pitch catcher Jeff Csatari already has too much in his
in-box. Send your best stuff by snail mail instead, with a leadtime of 10 weeks.
The first issue will hit newsstands Aug. 21, with the same content going on
its Web site, which launches this spring. Csatari expects offline circulation
to total 350,000. 33 E Minor Street, Emmaus, PA 18018.
Closing Shop. Meredith Corp.'s Cross Stitch & Needlework,
Decorative Woodcrafts and Crayola Kids magazines will close to
increase spending on interactive marketing and Internet initiatives. Crayola
Kids' last issue is in May and the others cease production with their July-August
issues. 515/284-3000.
