Firecrown Media yesterday announced the appointment of Jeanne Craig as editor-in-chief of Yachting magazine. Craig, most recently editor-in-chief of Soundings magazine, has three decades of marine publishing experience.
(Firecrown owns Yachting, Soundings and Soundings Trade Only, among other marine magazines.)
“Jeanne’s experience, leadership and passion for boating make her an outstanding choice to lead Yachting,” Firecrown marine division president David Carr said in a statement. “She has earned tremendous respect throughout the marine industry, and her vision will help ensure Yachting remains the leading voice for yacht owners and boating enthusiasts for years to come.”
Prior to joining Firecrown, Craig held leadership positions at Active Interest Media, Time Inc. and Hachette Filipacchi Media. Her career has spanned national boating publications, luxury lifestyle media, custom publishing, digital content and branded media initiatives. She is also a past president of Boating Writers International.
“Yachting has been a benchmark for boating journalism for generations and is a brand I’ve admired throughout my career,” Craig said in the statement. “It’s a privilege to lead a title that has earned the trust of serious boaters for over a century. Like our readers, I love great boats and the life that comes with them. I’m excited to build on that legacy and deliver the trusted reporting and storytelling readers have come to expect, across print and digital platforms.”
