About Our Magazine
PUBLISHED IN HISTORIC YANKTON
South Dakota Magazine explores the state, looking for interesting people and places that define our culture, heritage, arts, nature and communities.
The bi-monthly (6 per year) publication is written and headquartered at Yankton, the historic Missouri River city that was once the territorial capital.
Our publishing headquarters encompasses three old brick buildings in downtown Yankton that were built in the 1870s by Territorial Governor John Pennington. Readers interested in history and architecture are always welcome to stop for a quick tour. You'll find us at 410 E. 3rd Street, at the far east end of Yankton's main street (Third Street).
Our staff of 11 includes Bernie Hunhoff, the editor and publisher. Bernie founded the magazine in 1985.
In conjunction with the magazine, the staff has also produced several books of stories and photographs on South Dakota.
Thank you for your interest in the magazine. We hope you'll join our reading family, and explore South Dakota with us on a regular basis.

Bernie Hunhoff - Editor & Publisher
 Bernie started the magazine in 1985 after working in the newspaper business in South Dakota. He has been stuck on gumbo trails in Lyman County, been hissed at by rattlers at Porcupine and forced to eat everything from lutefisk to roast goat. It's all part of the job of publishing South Dakota Magazine. |
Katie Hunhoff - Managing Editor
 Katie coordinates our feature articles and photography, and guides the editorial process along from issue to issue. She lives next door to the magazine in one of Governor Pennington's funky old brick houses. |

Andrea Maibaum - Production Manager
 If you like how the magazine looks, then please compliment Andrea. She's our chief designer both of the advertising and the editorial pages. She and her husband, Bill, currently live across the river in Nebraska but Andrea, a Gayville native and SDSU grad, can't wait to move to South Dakota.

Barb Hanson - Advertising Director
 Barb enjoys working with advertisers to show off their unique products and services. She loves it when readers say, I enjoy the ads as much as the stories! But she never tells the story writers.

Ruth Steil - Administrative Assistant
 Ruth's varied responsibilities range from running our front office to bookkeeping, payroll, book sales, writing our food stories and managing the office cat, Pennington. |

Alma Korslund - Circulation Assistant
 Alma is the first staffer hired by Bernie when he started the magazine in 1985. A farmer's wife from nearby Irene, she has worn many hats at the magazine through the years, even lutefisk chef. Now she works with Jana in keeping the subscription list updated. |
Dave Jensen - Contributing Editor
 Dave recently retired from a journalism career on the East Coast, and returned to his native Yankton County. He assists with writing, proofreading and editing.

Yeller - Greeter
Yeller is the Official Greeter at South Dakota Magazine. He isn't the best worker; he's been known to nap the day away and he can't spell his own name. But he kisses up to customers, he never complains about his salary, and he doesn't waste time on the internet, so we tolerate him.
|
Pennington - Night Watch-Woman
She thinks she's the editor. She prances around the office like she owns the place. She eats anything that's left out. She puts in long hours, but seldom gets very much done. Hey, maybe she could be the editor.

Heidi is our Marketing Director. She's happiest when the phones are ringing with new subscribers. Heidi grew up on her family's horse farm south of Yankton, and she interned at our offices while attending Buena Vista University in Iowa. Then she returned home to work at the magazine. Or did she return for the horses?
