A New Magazine Is Born, and a Vintage Cookbook Will Rise
W Magazine announced a twice‑annual teen‑focused sister publication launching in September 2026, aiming to capture Gen Z’s growing nostalgia for analog experiences. The move aligns with a broader teen trend of buying cassettes, CDs and hunting vintage iPods—some fetching $225 on eBay. The publisher hopes the tactile appeal of print will resonate with a generation that still values physical media. The article also hints that this retro wave could revive vintage cookbooks, adding another niche for print publishers.
