Lexington Times Magazine

Lexington Times Magazine is a full-color monthly community magazine devoted to in-depth features about Lexington and the issues that affect people who live and work there. Its pages mix human-interest stories, local history and coverage of community organizations such as the Lexington Education Foundation, the Lexington Historical Society, LexArt and the Munroe Center for the Arts. It also gives local businesses and nonprofits a trusted way to reach residents.

The magazine was launched by Lexington native Jim Shaw, a former public relations professional and public-sector spokesman, and his wife Laurie Atwater, a marketing and advertising professional. It began under the name Lexington Citizen and, with backing from family, friends and loyal local advertisers, grew from a modest publication into a feature magazine. Regular columns include Family Matters, Senior Matters, Transportation Matters and LexRec Connect, along with reports from the DPW and public safety departments.
