A Safe Space to Binge on Magazines
Nandi Howard announces an exit from Essence, BE’N, founder of Urban Magazine celebrates 10 Years, and Editor/Journalist, Amy DuBois Burnett is both newly engaged and a new novelist, of "If I Ruled the World". Let’s dig into media News this week of January 16:
Â
2026 opens with momentum, clarity, and real opportunity. The Stylists Suite Newsletter isn’t inspiration. It’s access, intel, and strategy—curated to save you time, sharpen your pitches, and help you get paid.
That’s the value of your Stylists Suite subscription.
This week’s opportunities are an invitation to slow down, think deeper, and submit work that carries voice. These editors are seeking stories rooted in lived experience, creative risk, and thoughtful interrogation of food, power, and change. If you’ve been holding a piece that feels personal and necessary, this is your signal.Â
As an editor and working journalist, I don’t want cute gifts — I want useful ones.
This Gift list for Fellow Journalists isn’t trendy — it’s tested.
These are the kinds of things I’ve learned to value after years in newsrooms, on assignments, and building Stylists Suite alongside my journalism career.
If you’re buying for a journalist, editor, or media professional — this is how you show you actually see the work.
