Syracuse Woman Magazine debuts Staff reports In a few days, Central New Yorkers will have a brand new “glossy” to get their hands on. Syracuse Woman Magazine, a product of the partnership between Rochester Woman Magazine, LLC and Eagle Newspapers, will be launching its inaugural edition Feb. 3. An electronic version was released to subscribers Jan. 31. Copies of SWM can be found at local Tops and Wegmans, coffee shops and various area salons, spas and medical offices. This is a free publication. SWM is the “younger sister” of the already successful RWM, which was first published 10 years ago. RWM publishers Barbara McSpadden and Kelly Breuer bought the magazine in August 2009. A few months later, they re-launched the publication with a new look and feel. “Ever since we launched Rochester Woman Magazine last January, we’ve been asked to bring the publication to Syracuse,” McSpadden said. “We just felt that the time was right and the market was ready.” Contributing a familiar voice to SWM is former Eagle Newspapers editor, Farah Jadran, who is now the managing editor of Syracuse’s newest magazine. Jadran is also a contributor to WCNY’s “Central Issues,” and an adjunct professor at the School of Communication, Media and the Arts at SUNY Oswego. She is also an alumna of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. “I have been hearing so much positive feedback from people on the street and on Facebook about how much they want a magazine like this in Syracuse,” Jadran said. While working on her master’s degree in magazine journalism, Jadran said she always wanted to be a part of a woman’s magazine, one that is different from the See Syracuse, page 7

According to Meteorologist Wayne Mahar, who was present at the event, the air temperature was 30 degrees (20 degrees considering the wind chill) at the start of the plunge. In addition to the Polar Bear Plunge, which was part of Baldwinsville’s Big Chill weekend, other events included a Wine, Cheese and Chocolate tasting event Friday evening and snow shoe races, best in bowl competition and a poker run Saturday.
