Philadelphia (magazine)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Philadelphia (usually called "Philadelphia magazine" and often incorrectly written as "Philadelphia Magazine" or referred to the nickname "Phillymag") is a regional monthly magazine published in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by Metrocorp.
Coverage includes Philadelphia and the surrounding counties of Montgomery, Chester, Delaware and Bucks County, Pennsylvania, as well as Camden and Burlington counties in New Jersey. During summer, coverage expands to include vacation communities along the Jersey shore.
The magazine has been the recipient of the National Magazine Award in various categories in 1970, 1972, 1977, 1982, 1993, and 1994.
Key staff (as of May 2007) includes:

- David H. Lipson, Jr., President
- Frederick B. Waechter, Jr., Chief Operating Officer
- Marian Conicella, Publisher
- Larry Platt, Editor

Like other city and regional magazines, sections cover dining, entertainment, and special events. Feature articles cover the range of these topics, along with local and regional politics. Special (generally annual) features include "The Best of Philly" Awards, with summary top ratings of a panoply of products, services, stores, shops and community features; "Top Docs", listing top-rated physicians by specialty; "Top Lawyers" and in 2001 "76 Revolutionary Minds."
The cover of the May, 2007 issue[1] caused a minor controversy, as it featured a photograph of a nude 31 year-old woman who had undergone the removal of a cancerous growth from her buttocks. [2]
Alumni staff includes Lisa DePaulo, Andrew Corsello, Maximillian Potter, Eric Konigsberg, Stephen Fried, Sasha Issenberg, Loren Feldman, Benjamin Wallace, Bill Tonelli, and Ben Yagoda.
