CN Magazine’s bi-monthly lifestyle title Cumbria Life has netted two star columnists, with the news that journalist Hunter Davies and TV chef Dave Myers have joined the editorial team.
The two - both born, raised and still resident in the region – will now add to the ranks of writers that have helped to make Cumbria Life, with a paid-for circulation of 16,000, the area’s biggest selling county magazine.

CN Magazines editor Richard Eccles said of his new signings: “I'm really pleased that such an accomplished writer and journalist as Hunter is joining us. He will bring a real touch of class to the magazine and is Cumbrian through and through. "Dave Myers is another great addition. “He has a unique style and humour and is passionate about all things Cumbrian – not just our wonderful food, and he will really liven up our pages." The appointments come as CN moves into new offices, yesterday, at Dalston, near Carlisle and welcomes four more senior staffers to a team that produces both Cumbria Life and DGB Life (which targets Dumfries and Galloway). The new members of staff are Mary Ingham and Kath Smart, both former Cumberland News/News & Star features editors, former Westmorland Gazette deputy head of content Michaela Robinson-Tate and feature writer Jane Loughran, who will transfer from The Cumberland News in May. Eccles said that the current developments at the firm made for “exciting times” and that he anticipated a strong future lying ahead for the group. He commented: “At CN Magazines we believe we can combine top-quality regional journalism with lifestyle and commercial platforms which work for readers and advertisers. "I believe (our) combination of bold and ambitious regional journalism, contemporary lifestyle content, and traditional county magazine staples is the key to winning new readers and advertisers and helping to change the image of regional magazines from purely rural, traditional and aimed at older readers, to a more vibrant, diverse and forward-looking reflection of contemporary life.” http://www.cumbrialife.co.uk/
