SCOOP: Shape magazine to focus on digital
Meredith-owned health and lifestyle publication Shape is set to shutter print operations, save for two special editions produced every Spring and Fall. In an email obtained by the Daily sent by a Shape staff member, the print editorial team received the news today while simultaneously being told that today would be their last day in the office. In an official statement, a Meredith representative said: “As part of this new strategy, Shape will publish two special premium print editions per year for newsstands only and will no longer produce its existing subscription magazine ten times a year. Shape.com and our social media channels will continue to produce award-winning content.” The rep confirmed that experiences like SHAPE Beauty Box and SHAPE Body Shop events will remain intact too. Meredith was recently acquired by Dotdash in a deal reportedly worth $2.7 billion. The new company, called Dotdash Meredith, will be led by Dotdash chief executive Neil Vogel and will see Meredith’s 40+ magazines and digital outlets, including People, InStyle, Better Homes & Gardens, and Entertainment Weekly all operate under a new roof.

Emily Ratajkowski gets real with Lisa Taddeo
Ahead of her debut collection of essays, model and entrepreneur Emily Ratajkowski sat down with author Lisa Taddeo and Elle magazine for a candid conversation on female rage, sex, confidence, motherhood, beauty ideals, and more. In the must-read piece, new mom Ratajkowski explains how she was driven to put pen to paper after the viral New York Magazine article which detailed her experience of sexual assault. “The reason I set out to write was to deal with my s**t, absolutely. With the essay…I was so nervous. The week before, I couldn’t sleep. I was sobbing. I was an absolute mess: ‘Why did I do this? Remind me why I wrote this and why I’m deciding to publish it? And then when it went out into the world, it was cathartic. Because all of a sudden, it was people recognizing my reality. It’s so validating. I didn’t have that for a big part of my twenties, whether in these small interactions that I write about or on a global scale. To be able to say, ‘This is my story,’ it’s very healing.” Ratajkowski’s book is set to publish on November 9.
