Cover of Fifth Anniversary Edition of Prince George's Suite Magazine

Leading Maryland Lifestyle Magazine Publishes 100-Page Fifth Anniversary Issue
 
(Prince George’s County, MD) – Five years ago, a 36-page Prince George’s Suite magazine hit newsstands, promising to be a captivating source for lifestyle news about Prince George’s and its upscale communities and suburban backdrop just outside Washington, DC. With the fifth anniversary edition of Prince George’s Suite magazine, which hits newsstands this week, a historic 100-page issue continues the journey to tell wonderful county stories in better, higher fashion than ever before.
 
“Readers will notice that there are more images and shorter stories in keeping with the direction of our upcoming redesign. In this edition, we have partnered with the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission to feature its exciting Envision Prince George’s effort. Hyattsville is the first to be featured in the “Our Town” series, which aims to bring to light all the wonderful things happening in our cities and towns,” said Associate Publisher Maria Lopez-Bernstein. “Prince Georgians can be proud of their county and their magazine.” In this tough economy with magazines and newspapers folding all over the country, their magazine is not only surviving, but thriving,” said Lopez.
 
This edition features a chat with Michael J. Chiaramonte, president and CEO of Southern Maryland Healthcare System in Clinton, who discusses how health care reform might play out in Prince George’s.
 
In the magazine’s annual look at education in Prince George’s, veteran journalist Alex Krughoff reports on efforts to improve test scores in public schools and the growing number of private institutions that have expanded their programs as more affluent parents seek other options for their children.
 
“As Prince George’s County has grown to be one of the most progressive counties in the United States, Suite magazine has been there to tell our story,” said Board Chairman Dr. James Dula. “The magazine has been recognized as the voice of Prince George’s County in many ways, to include the growth of our families, ongoing school developments, and issues to affect our way of life. Prince George’s County is known as a county where families come together, and the Suite has been the number one media source to learn who we are and what we’re doing.”
 
“We are extremely excited at the Suite to have the privilege of being part of the community’s social fabric and to tell all the positive stories of Prince George’s County,” said Publisher Raoul Dennis. “We’ll pause to reflect on the past five years, but we are even more energized about the next five.”
 
Prince George’s is currently the wealthiest African-American county in the nation, with a median family income of $62,467.
