Three Months After Shutting Its Doors, San Diego Magazine Returns (foliomag.com)

When San Diego magazine abruptly ceased operations and laid off nearly all of its employees in late March, mere days after a statewide shelter-in-place order took effect in California, CEO and publisher Jim Fitzpatrick stressed that it was only a temporary pause and that he hoped the magazine would return when the local economy began to reopen.

Three months later, the 72-year-old publication says it’s back in business.

“This month, we are happy to announce that we have reopened our doors. We’re excited to once again tell the stories of the people and businesses making San Diego the incredible city it is,” wrote editor-in-chief Erin Meanley Glenny in a note posted on the the magazine’s website on Wednesday, adding that a “very small staff” is currently at work on an August/September print edition, in addition to resuming regular editorial content online.

In total, 20 of the 37 staffers who were laid off in March have been re-hired, Fitzpatrick told the Times of San Diego, which reports that the magazine will produce three bimonthly issues through December/January but plans to resume monthly print production early next year.
