True North website will launch January 15th!

So, we were hoping to have True North Parenting up and running by the first, but unforeseen forces held us up (Ok, our estimate was a little naïve). Not to fear! We are working tirelessly and are pleased to announce that IT'S OFFICIAL! we will be live on January 15th.

We’ve had a sneak peak at the site and are extremely pleased and excited it share it with all Central Oregon parents. Remember, we are always looking for new articles and pics so drop us a line or send your work our way.

Thanks,
The True North Team

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

True North Partners with Blink Photography of Bend, Oregon

Bend, OR -- True North Publications, which is scheduled to launch a regional online parenting magazine in mid-January, has selected a Bend-based firm as its exclusive cover photographer.

Blink Photography, owned by Anna Spence and Danielle Pratt, features on-location and studio work and specializes in lifestyle portraits. The firm will provide all cover photos for True North, including the website home page, a directory of regional businesses, services and resources due in April 2008, and a print edition of the magazine scheduled for publication in June 2008.

“We chose Blink because it best represents the True North brand – modern, outdoors-oriented and family-centered”, said magazine co-founder Annette Benedetti. “The partnership makes sense from a business standpoint and on a personal level, as Blink is owned by two working moms and creative professionals committed to this region.”

Danielle Pratt, co-owner of Blink, echoed the synergy between the two companies.

“True North’s high quality, informative, and fun publications are going to be a wonderful asset to families in Central Oregon,” she said. “We (Blink) are passionate about family life and found that paralleled in True North. We also take great pride in Central Oregon, and love to support the local companies that better our community, and believe that True North will do just that.

“We’re looking forward to working with the magazine to bring our best to print each month.”

True North is an online magazine dedicated to parenting and other aspects of family life in the Central Oregon region. Following its online magazine launch in January, the magazine’s content will refresh each month with new articles and features. True North welcomes submissions from regional writers and photographers who wish to contribute to the magazine.

See the True North blog for up-to-date information on the website and submission guidelines. Log on to the premiere online issue in January.
