Hearst Uses Esquire Email List to Pimp Food Network Magazine

The Hearst Corporation, strugging to cut costs, is hoping the Food Network Magazine can help stem the downward trending revenue. We wish them the best of luck.

Now please stop emailing us about the new magazine. We know we gave you permission to contact us by opting into the Esquire mailing list, but how about a little discretion? How many readers of the men’s mag can possibly want FNM? (Maybe if it were FHM…)
