A new women's magazine
A new women's magazine is going to hit the shelves at the end of 2006.
Different to anything else out there this magazine is about women feeling
power-filled and sexy. It's creative, sensual, and thought-provoking and
it's looking for the right woman with editorial and publishing experience to
come on board as Managing Director.

Angela Neustatter
Angela Neustatter is working on a magazine article on the subject of young bosses with older employees and would LOVE to talk to anyone with
experiences of this situation - either as employee or boss - the good the bad and the bizarre. It would be especially interesting to hear how
it has worked in situations where a young boss has been brought in over people who have worked with the company for a long time. I can do this
anon if best.
