Harvard Magazine: The Next Chapter
with Editor, Joanna Weiss 

Tuesday, September 22, 2026, 11:30-2:30 Hyannis Yacht Club, Hyannis MA

Join us for lunch, a great view of Lewis Bay and a conversation with Joanna Weiss, Editor of Harvard Magazine. She will tell us about the challenges and opportunities the magazine faces ‘in the most consequential time, perhaps in Harvard’s history’ and our country. Learn how they are writing about Harvard and the changes to their print and digital media.

There will be an opportunity to provide feedback about the magazine and learn about the many ways alumni can participate in this ongoing conversation.

Joanna Weiss became editor of Harvard Magazine in April 2025. A 1994 graduate of Harvard College, where she served as the editorial chair of The Harvard Crimson. , Joanna began her journalism career at The Times-Picayune of New Orleans and spent 16 years as a metro and political reporter, arts reporter, and op-ed columnist at The Boston Globe. She has created and run award-winning magazines for Northeastern University and the technology firm athenahealth. Joanna’s writing has appeared in Politico Magazine, Slate, The Atlantic, The Economist, Boston Magazine, and other publications, along with the books Nasty Women and Bad Hombres: Gender and Race in the 2016 Presidential Race (University of Rochester Press) and Taylor Swift: Album by Album (Quarto Press). Her Boston Magazine article “For Those Moms About to Rock” has been optioned for film by 20th Century Studios.

You will get to know the editor and maybe a bit about her off-campus life where she is a member of the Lazy Susans!
