Last Thursday on TVO’s The Agenda with Steve Paikin, four prominent Canadian magazine editors appeared together in conversation about the challenges and opportunities of magazine publishing and engaging readers in a digital age and in a crowded, shifting marketplace. (SPOILER ALERT: The answer to the digital-age question–“Will there still be print magazines in 10 years?”–is yes!)
- Haley Cullingham, editor-in-chief of Maisonneuve
- Sarah Fulford, editor-in-chief of Toronto Life
- Jonathan Kay, editor-in-chief of The Walrus
- Steve Maich, senior vice-president & general manager of Rogers Publishing and founding editor of Sportsnet

A few annotations:
When host Steve Paikin introduces everyone with their associated magazine, describing each as having won “Best Canadian Magazine of…” he is referring to the National Magazine Award for Magazine of the Year (or, in the case of Sportsnet, Tablet Magazine of the Year).
Toronto Life: Magazine of the Year 2007 (and 1985 & 1989)
Maisonneuve: Magazine of the Year 2011 (and 2004)
The Walrus: Magazine of the Year 2006
Sportsnet: Tablet Magazine of the Year 2013
Steve Maich is a member of the board of directors of the National Magazine Awards Foundation.
