Congratulations to New Mobility magazine, which recently celebrated its 20th anniversary. New Mobility began publishing to provide information about life after spinal cord injury and other disability issues.
The magazine built a solid audience by focusing on wheelchair-users who wish to maintain an active lifestyle. Through the years, New Mobility also earned a cutting edge reputation. It used people-first language and was one of the first publications to frankly discuss the topic of sexuality and disability. Just as importantly, the magazine continues to be produced by writers and editors with disabilities.
Since 1989, the magazine evolved from a quarterly publication to a monthly that now includes a Web-based version as well as a Facebook page.
"New Mobility has been changing the lives of people with disabilities for many years," publisher Jeff Leonard said. "Now with our strong presence on the Web, we have an opportunity to really enhance our readers' experience and get people connected."
