DECEMBER <strong>2009</strong> | UNITED.COM 12 comments Feeling the Love It’s been six months since Hemispheres was relaunched. If the response so far is any indication, we’re on the right track. THEY’RE SINGING OUR PRAISES ON BLOGS: “ If you think about it, [an infl ight]—done right—has the potential to publish only really fascinating, enlightening writing: the world is its topic, and after all, it has a kind of captive audience. United’s Hemispheres...keeps me awake, and makes me learn things I didn’t know before. Yesterday, when I realized I’d get to read a different issue of Hemispheres than the one on the plane I took to New Zealand last month, I actually got a little bit excited. I haven’t felt that way about reading a women’s magazine in years.”—JENNA, Jezebel.com “ Mags We Heart...United’s Hemispheres is smart, voice-y, and well-designed—not to mention stocked with excellent stories. After a grueling fashion week, Chic is downright invigorated.”—CHIC REPORT, FashionWeekDaily.com THEY’RE FLOODING OUR INBOXES: “ This is the fi rst issue that I actually read more than one paragraph of an article… and one I look forward to reading cover to cover.... So, as I near my millionth mile in the sky (aboard, you guessed it, United), I’ll look forward to more installments of Hemispheres.”—NANCY HOBBS, Executive Director, American Trail Running Association “ As much as I complain about traveling so much for work—I do it a lot—I found my most recent trip quite enjoyable once I picked up Hemispheres. Just about every article was relevant, interesting and thought-provoking.” —CATHLEEN FLAHARDY, Editor in chief, InsideCounsel magazine AND THEY’RE OFFERING UP COMMENTS AT HEMISPHERESMAGAZINE.COM: In response to “To Hall and Back” (November <strong>2009</strong>): “What a great article!
