Background
A Web magazine published by Soapbox Media Group, part of Issue Media Group, has launched in Cincinnati.

Soapbox Cincinnati made its debut at www.soapboxmedia.com, according to a news release. The e-zine's goal is to "create positive momentum for the Cincinnati region" with a mix of news about local business, development, jobs, restaurants, recreation and neighborhoods, among others.

Dacia Snider, publisher for Soapbox Media, said the e-zine has a number of local investors, including Macy's Inc. (NYSE: M), the Cincinnati USA Partnership and the Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile Jr. U.S. Bank Foundation.

Soapbox has offices in Over-the-Rhine and a staff of about six, with 12-14 freelancers contributing stories, Snider said. A new issue will appear online every Tuesday.

Issue Media Group, headquartered in Detroit, publishes e-zines in several cities, including Pittsburgh and Detroit. Source: http://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/stories/2008/02/11/daily14.html?ana=from_rss
