Margaret Magnarelli
Senior Editor
MONEY
Margaret Magnarelli joined MONEY in April 2006. She edits stories on real estate, health and as well as assorted features; she also coordinates the magazine's stringer program.
Prior to joining MONEY, Margaret was a senior editor at Budget Living, where she revamped the magazine's "Loose Change" section before its untimely demise in February. Margaret has also worked as a features editor at Good Housekeeping, where she handled all the real-people profiles and dramatic narratives. She also worked on several consumer features, including one on insurance fraud and another on drinking water that succeeded in getting a bill entered in Congress.
Margaret began her career at Seventeen, where she started as an editorial assistant, then worked her way up to assistant editor and associate editor — it was a period filled with boy bands and glittery eye shadow. She has published articles in numerous magazines and newspapers, including Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Ladies' Home Journal, Chicago Social, People, Modern Bride, the Illinois Times, and the Syracuse Herald Journal.
While she was in graduate school, she was publisher on the launch of a magazine called Satisfaction. That publication has since been sold to The Chicago Tribune Company, which began publishing it last September.
A native of Syracuse, New York, Margaret attended the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University, where she received a bachelors and a Masters degree in magazine publishing.
