Meet Gina Stephens, publisher of Raleigh Magazine, the speaker for our May 8, 2025, luncheon meeting 11:45 a.m. – 1:15. The publication is Raleigh, North Carolina’s first monthly, citywide magazine.

As the voice of America’s fastest growing city, the magazine offers citywide coverage of the local food scene, home décor and fashion, plus an insiders guide to cool things to do in Raleigh every day.

When Gina Stephens was a television producer and got dropped in a new city, one of her first moves was to grab a city magazine to try to learn about the town. After getting out of TV and having worked with a few different publications in North Carolina, in 2015 she decided the time was perfect to create that magazine for Raleigh that she would have loved to have picked up as a new-to-Raleigh television producer
