Daily News | Karen Waldauer, enterprising local publisher, editor, writer, and volunteer, has died at 84
by William McMahon in 1980, and told the New York Times that readers in the Mid-Atlantic states were clamoring at the time for more local reading material. “The outside world has really just discovered the Pinelands,” she told the Times. “To date, there hasn’t been much written about this area because most publishers can’t gear themselves down to this limited a topic.”
In 1986, Mrs. Waldauer told The Inquirer that the challenges of attracting suburban readers to local magazines were numerous. For example, she said, the readership market along Philadelphia’s Main Line was “extremely ephemeral.”People may reside on the Main Line, she said, “but they don’t totally live there. They have other magazines to serve their interests, and their interests are very broad. Being confined to Main Line subjects is not appealing to this sophisticated market.
She worked for several printing and publishing companies in New York before landing a job in the mid-1960s as a production editor at Rutgers University Press. She also edited many of the books and stories she later published, and wrote magazine articles under a pseudonym. She created, funded, and oversaw the publication of a student newspaper at Sleighton Farms School in Glen Mills, tutored adults for the Delaware County Literacy Council, and organized seniors in support of President Obama’s political campaigns. “She was bright and creative and encouraged curiosity and trying new things,” her family said in a tribute.
