Churm Publishing of Orange County to Launch OC Family

Posted on March 24, 1998

Churm Publishing, whose biweekly OC METRO magazine has tripled in revenues and circulation since 1990, announced the launch of OC Family, the first Orange County-based tabloid-style monthly aimed at families with children from birth through the teen years.

Scheduled to debut May 15 at strategically located newsstands and distribution points throughout Orange County, OC Family fills a gap in Southern California media coverage, according to Steve Churm, a former Los Angeles Times and Orange County Register reporter/editor turned publisher.

"OC Family goes beyond the traditional `parenting' editorial content that focuses on newborns, toddlers and kindergarten-age children," said Churm, a father of three children ages 8-12. "This magazine will reflect Orange County's No. 1 asset -- families. Orange County has long been a family community and our magazine will speak to that important audience."
