Posted on December 17, 2004

Metro Exposure is a new glossy magazine that plans to cover the hottest sights, sounds, events and people of the Metro Detroit area. ME will target the 25-55 year old upwardly mobile individual, with average income or access to income that exceeds $100,000 per year, with a 50/50 male/female split for readership. The magazine will be published twice quarterly, beginning with eight issues, per year.

Metro Exposure's debut December 2004 issue will be filled with features, including the inside scoop on the 20 sexiest people in Metro Detroit that includes people like Bob "The Bachelor" Guiney, Monica Del Signore, owner of Bacco Ristorante in Southfield, Shelly Golden, wife of D.O.C. owner Richard Golden, and recently retired Detroit Lion, Robert Porcher. The first issue will also include an in-depth story on how businesses in Detroit are feeling the effects of no hockey in "Hockeytown," as well as a profile story on the success behind the Andiamo Italian restaurants. Offering insight is the "If I knew then what I know now" feature with December's issue including quotes from Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and Attorney Geoffrey Fieger.

Art Danou, of West Bloomfield, Marvin Glenn, and Art Gappi, both of Birmingham, are the owners of the new magazine. Emin Kadi, of Royal Oak, is the creative director, who also happens to be the publisher of Clear magazine. Chuck Bennett was named Editor-in-Chief, bringing his thirty plus years of newspaper and magazine experience to Metro Exposure magazine.

Metro Exposure will hit newsstands on December 13, 2004, with a complimentary issue. Area Border's stores, fine dining restaurants, clubs and upscale hotels in and around metro Detroit will be carrying Metro Exposure. The magazine will then sell for $3.95 beginning with the February 2005 edition.
