Is a magazine dedicated to the talented people who worked for Cahners Publishing.
The commitment to excellence that these people gave thoughout the history of the company is beyond the scope of most for over 50 years.

Jean has a passion for creative digital media solutions while servicing technology and business culinary arts and entertainment, luxury and hospitality, publishing and non-profits to name a few. Jean enjoys identifying new media solutions for clients and is a true ntrepreneur developing various products and brands -- books, health/wellness, undergarments, spirits, and more.
With more than twenty five years experience, She is recognized in digital media for her sales and marketing innovations. Before the launch of Jean Criss Media, LLC, Jean gained her high-tech and digital media expertise as a leader in the Midwest and Northeast markets at various technology and publishing companies.
She uses digital and social media, advertising and multimedia technology to call upon her background with an innovative approach to each project. Examples include the production, program and media management of various wine and food, or art and music festivals or related events involving local artisans, celebrity chefs and/or sommeliers in the culinary industry.
Additionally, Jean co-produced two TV pilots. One involved marketing and product placement sponsorship sales in the launch of a national drama Web/TV series, and the other involved a food, wine and interior design Web series. She pitches various TV pilots to production houses and the TV networks on behalf of other clients. She continues to expand her horizons in various industries such as the design of a new apparel collection by using her creativity to seek out new product ventures.
Jean is a businesswoman with a philanthropic spirit. She devotes herself to over 20 local and national non-profits and various women entrepreneur leadership organizations throughout the Northeast by fundraising, volunteering and using ingenuity to raise awareness for these causes with the media and the press. Jean has served on the Board at The Fortnightly Club of Summit as Publicity Chair for two years (2012 - 2014) and served on the Board of Trustees of the North Jersey Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® for three years (2008 - 2011), where she helped raise collectively over $15 million for the Affiliate's grant programs since 2007. During her term with Komen, Jean co-produced various PSA campaigns including Komen's first Race for the Cure® PSA featuring Grammy-award winning artist, Gloria Gaynor and former Fox 5 medical correspondent, Dr. Sapna Parikh. Net proceeds from My Pain Woke Me Up - BLISS!', new trilogy series, will benefit both Susan G. Komen for the Cure® and the Joe Torre Safe at Home® Foundation.
Jean is the single mother of two teenagers and resides in northern New Jersey. BLISS! and Legal Injustice were both designed and self-published by Jean. Her third book in the series, LIVE Your Dreams just published and also available in both soft cover and e-book like the others at all major media outlets. This story is about entrepreneurship -- dreaming BIG, living it and unleashing your inner creativity. Making all those dreams come true! She continues to live her dreams. Jean once learned, 'a goal is simply a dream with a deadline.' She just loves that phrase!
