New ownership for Revelstoke Mountaineer Magazine

Revelstoke Mountaineer Magazine is under new ownership.

This past month, Discourse Community Publishing acquired Revelstoke Mountaineer Magazine and revelstokemountaineer.com, adding the publication to its growing stable of independent, journalism-focused publications. For details on the changes, see our announcement on page 12.

The change means the departure of Revelstoke Mountaineer owner and longserving editor, Aaron Orlando, who has served in senior editorial roles in Revelstoke since 2008. He was editor of the Revelstoke Review from 2008 to 2014, then founded revelstokemountaineer.com in late 2014, then published the first issue of Revelstoke Mountaineer Magazine in 2016. In total, he edited and published just under 60 issues of the print magazine.

Other staff and contributors remain on with the Mountaineer, including web and print designer Chris Payne and contributing journalist Melissa Jameson.

Discourse Community Publishing has plans to hire a new full-time journalist for Revelstoke Mountaineer Magazine and revelstokemountaineer.com, and prefers to hire locally, so tell those who may be interested to look out for the position posting soon. This issue has been a transition issue, as we begin the process of changing over to new systems.

What we know for sure is Revelstoke Mountaineer Magazine is a well liked local publication; readers of all ages access the magazine and often have compliments about its positive vibe and mix of stories that matches the energy and creativity of Revelstoke.

We hope to be good stewards of that public support for the magazine and website and build on the legacy in the years to come.

We can't do it without you; we encourage readers to consider supporting the publication by donating online via our website. For advertisers, we're looking to support your business in the community and want to hear from you.
