Putting Life Into Worcester Living

Have you ever wondered what goes into producing a magazine?

Come join editor Leah Lamson as she provides an insider’s view of how her team of talented writers and photographers create each issue of Worcester Living magazine.

Worcester Living, a regional lifestyle magazine published by the Telegram & Gazette, captures the many accomplishments and passions of individuals living in Central Massachusetts.  Magazine stories cover topics such as travel & leisure, home & garden, fashion & beauty, food& wine and arts & culture.

Lamson has been in the newspaper business for more than 30 years.  She has been managing editor at the Telegram & Gazette since 1986 and editor of Worcester Living since the magazine was launched in 2005. Lamson is a Central Massachusetts native and graduated from Simmons College in Boston.

In addition to Lamson’s talk, the annual Elaine Cencak Memorial scholarship will be presented to a student at a college or university in Worcester County that is majoring in a communications field.
