Ladies Mags Are Back to Making Bank

Women’s magazine and newspaper publisher Meredith Corp., which puts out Fitness and Better Homes and Gardens among 21 other mags, is back in the black after a tough 2009. The company made $103.96 million in the 2010 fiscal year on revenues of $1.38 billion, after losing $107.08 million in 2009. That same year Meredith laid off 250 workers and closed down Country Home magazine.
