Fort Lauderdale Magazine is a city magazine that publishes editorial content covering local features, fashion, dining, real estate development, community profiles, and lifestyle topics for the Fort Lauderdale, Florida market. It sells print and digital magazine subscriptions, individual issues, advertising to local businesses, and produces the annual Best of Fort Lauderdale awards and DINE Fort Lauderdale dining guide.

Product overview

Fort Lauderdale Magazine is a single, unified print and digital publication serving the Fort Lauderdale community. The core offering is the magazine itself, which covers local features, fashion, city life, good life (health, travel, motors, outdoors, sports, Casa Chic), dining, and community content. The publication is supported by several related digital modules including magazine subscriptions for paid readership, online digital issues for web access, the Best of Fort Lauderdale annual rankings, the DINE restaurant guide, an events calendar, and an email newsletter service. These products function together as a comprehensive local lifestyle media platform rather than a modular software architecture.
