Modern Luxury Media, publisher of more than 40 high-end regional lifestyle magazines, has furloughed a significant number of staffers across the company through at least the end of June as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. CEO Michael Dickey—who noted that he and other executives are forgoing their salaries entirely while employees are furloughed—declined to share specific numbers, but said employees impacted include those in editorial, design, production, circulation and finance, as well as the company's entire marketing department.

In the meantime, the rest of the company's magazines, from Boston Common to Michigan Avenue to Modern Luxury San Diego, will be producing a singular, special edition May/June "Hope Issue," which Dickey said will focus on "both local and national heroes who have been selflessly innovative in supporting their neighbors," adding that it's the first time in Modern Luxury's history that identical print issues will appear in all of its markets (apart from Hamptons). "The horrible thing about it is that we were having our best year within... Continue reading at 'Folio Magazine'
