<\/a> Splash (May 1, 2016)<\/p><\/div>\n

Readers of the Chicago Tribune <\/a>got their first glimpse of Splash <\/a>over the weekend. At least subscribers who live in certain neighborhoods did.<\/p>\n

Sunday marked the first edition of Splash since the glossy lifestyle, celebrity and fashion magazine was acquired<\/a> last month by Tribune Publishing from Wrapports, parent company of the Sun-Times. It had been a Sunday insert in the Sun-Times since its inception in 2012.<\/p>\n

Bruce Dold, publisher and editor-in-chief of the Tribune, declined to comment on his paper\u2019s circulation plans for Splash.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not clear which parts of the city and suburbs have been designated to receive the magazine with the Sunday Tribune. Surprisingly, the latest edition of Splash was not included in papers delivered on the North Shore, which is considered one of the publication\u2019s prime targets. Instead it\u2019s being delivered there by 22nd Century Media, under a content and distribution partnership<\/a> with Splash that\u2019s about to end.<\/p>\n

Starting with the upcoming issue, dated May 22, Splash will be inserted in Sunday Tribunes on the North Shore, according to Susanna Homan, editor and publisher of Chicago magazine and Splash.<\/p>\n

Themed to Mother\u2019s Day, the current edition features a cover story on Kristin Cavallari, mother of three and wife of Bears quarterback Jay Cutler; a piece on Susan Carlson, the reporter and weekend news anchor at NBC-owned WMAQ-Channel 5, who recently adopted a daughter from India; and parenting advice from \u201cfive Chicago moms we love.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although now published by Chicago Tribune Media Group (along with Chicago magazine), Splash hasn\u2019t severed ties completely with the Sun-Times. At least for now, the publication\u2019s website still directs readers to its old home at splash.suntimes.com.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re still providing platform services until they move onto whatever new platform they'll be on,\u201d a Sun-Times spokesman said.<\/p>\n

Splash was a pet project of Michael Ferro, who recruited Homan to launch the magazine soon after the investment group he headed bought the Sun-Times. When Ferro left <\/a>to become chairman of Tribune Publishing, he wasted no time bringing Splash over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
