Charisma Media Restructures Media and Publishing By Cathy Lynn Grossman | Jun 08, 2021 Earlier this month, Charisma Media announced that is has combined its magazines, books, the MEV Bible, and digital products with the Charisma Podcast Network unit. The aim of the restructuring, CEO and founder Stephen Strang said, was to "streamline" operations for the company which began as Charisma magazine and grew into a book publisher, and digital and broadcast company under the Charisma Media umbrella. Strang says the new structure emphasizes “going back to our roots of being one media company which sells books to our niche religious audience of Pentecostals and Charismatics and other conservative Christians." He said while Charisma will continue to sell to the trade, it will "focus on selling our books on topics mainly interesting to our core audience through our own media, both print and digital.”
