EatingWell stops print edition after April
Shelburne-based EatingWell Magazine will discontinue its printed publication after its April issue according to editor Jessie Price. It will become a digital-only form of food information.

The publication was started by Charlotte’s James Lawrence in 1988 when he at the time was publisher of Harrowsmith Country Life. James and his colleagues at Harrowsmith were becoming more health- conscious and came out with the first edition of EatingWell in September 1990. Jessie, along with Wendy Rupp and Barry Estabrook who were two of the magazine’s founding editors, will all leave.
