Escape Collective
After countless layoffs and challenges, new publications are rising from the ashes of Outside group; the first is Escape Collective—the new home of independent cycling media. The editors write: "Let's not pigeonhole ourselves and say this will be a racing site, a tech site, or a culture site. Escape will be all of those things. Even more important, it will be a whole lot of things we haven't even thought of yet."
Air Mail
Air Mail, the subscription-based digital magazine company launched by former Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter, announced that it is expanding into print. Axios reports: "The outlet isn't yet profitable, but Carter said it brings in more than $15 million in annual revenue and has "a significant amount of the money we raised in the bank" to continue expanding for the next few years.
Lifehacker
Founded in 2005, Lifehacker is a website that covers—well, virtually everything—fitness, cooking, parenting, tech and beyond. Now, it's been sold to the digital-media giant Ziff Davis. The New York Times says: "In the highly competitive world of digital publishing, so-called service journalism publications like Lifehacker are valuable properties because they attract readers who are interested in advertiser-friendly categories."
Post Headspace
The Washington Post and Headspace, a global leader in mindfulness and meditation, announced a partnership to make its deep library of content available to all new Washington Post subscribers in a first-of-its-kind bundle subscription. "Beginning this month, the Headspace app will host an expert guidance video featuring Washington Post reporter Amanda Morris as part of Headspace's 'The Wake Up,' a daily video show to help members build a mindful morning routine by prompting them to take a step back from hustle culture."
