Media / Talk of the Trade: Magazines grow . . .
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.AFTER a difficult couple of years, the magazine sector is positively buzzing with announcements and rumours of new launches and even cover price rises. DC Thomson, best known for Beano and Dandy, is launching a monthly baby magazine called First Steps in September, while Emap is making its Your Complete Guide to Pregnancy & Birth a quarterly publication. Meanwhile, IPC is thought to be planning a gossipy showbusiness weekly. With sales of 20,000, the Oldie may be folding, but Your Cat, test launched in April, is going monthly after its first issue sold 12,000 more copies than its target 20,000. And while newspapers are in a price war, the Economist, which likes to style itself as a weekly viewspaper, is putting up its price by 10p to pounds 2 from 6 August.
