History

Founded in 1965 by Yolanda Maurer, Gold Coast was purchased by its current publisher, Bernard McCormick, in 1970. [4] The magazine was originally published as Fort Lauderdale Pictorial Magazine before the name was changed to Gold Coast.

Bernard McCormick, a senior editor with Philadelphia magazine, bought the magazine in 1970. The 160-page magazine was published nine times a year with an additional summer issue. The magazine eventually expanded its coverage area beyond Fort Lauderdale and Broward County by including feature stories relating to Palm Beach County. As early as 1973, the magazine began to gain readership as far north as Stuart and Vero Beach, where people from South Florida had started to migrate. [5]

In 1994, Bernard McCormick's son, Mark McCormick, left the navy to help his father with the magazine, which had just started producing its first issues as part of Gulfstream Media Group. The company expanded and created other regional magazines, all based out of the Fort Lauderdale office. The company also expanded to include a team in India to assist with the websites and the digital editions for the magazines. [5]

By 2015, Gulfstream Media Group had grown to 22 employees in the United States and 40 in India. The magazine's archives are often used to chronicle the history of South Florida. [5]

In 2019, Gulfstream Media Group was acquired by Hour Media. [6]
