Bush daughter adds Southern Living to media doings

Southern Living magazine’s staff box is adding a familiar name --- former presidential daughter Jenna Bush Hager, notes Grumpy Editor. 

While continuing as a correspondent for NBC’s “Today” show, the daughter of former President George W. Bush joins the magazine as an editor at large. 

In a monthly column, Paper Napkin Interview, she will cover influential Southerners and noteworthy places in the region. 

The addition of Bush Hager, 30, a Texan living in New York, is considered a move to attract some younger readers. 

With almost 3 million in circulation, median age of the magazine’s  readers is 51.2 years. 

She mentions that she grew up reading Southern Living and that her mother had a subscription. 

Grumpy Editor hastens to point out that one of the features in the monthly is the Grumpy Gardener (no relation) who, in his latest column, covers “Give a Grow Box This Christmas.”
