Sloane Citron (born 1956) is an American publisher based in Menlo Park, California.

Early life

Citron has loved magazines and magazine publishing since he was a youth. In second grade, he started his first publication entitled The Second Grade News, and in junior high school, he subscribed to Folio, a trade publication about the magazine business. While at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, he founded a humor magazine entitled Muse; he graduated in 1974. He studied at Claremont McKenna and was involved in journalism, and received an internship at Los Angeles magazine. He graduated from Stanford Business School.

Career

In the 1980s, Citron was general manager of Miami magazine and South Florida Home & Garden. In 1985, he founded Westar Media in Redwood City, California. His first magazine Peninsula was an upscale monthly which focused on the San Francisco suburbs in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. He founded magazines Northern California Home & Garden and Southern California Home & Garden; the firm owned six magazines at one point. In the 1990s, he launched 18 Media with journalist and business partner Elsie Floriani.

Glossy high production magazines were sent free to every home in the highly affluent cities and towns of Silicon Valley. The new format meant that he could virtually eliminate the subscription department, and avoid renewals and insert cards. His magazines Click Weekly and CAFE covered the lifestyles of people in Silicon Valley's high-tech industry. In 2018, he launched Punch magazine, a publication that showcases new ideas and culture from the San Francisco peninsula.

Personal life

Citron is married with four children in a traditional Jewish family.
