ABCs: Masterchef magazine hits the big time while rise of Frankie continues
Masterchef Magazine has made its sales debut as Australia’s sixth biggest selling monthly title, new figures today reveal.
According to sales data for January to June this year from the Audit Bureau of Circulation, Masterchef sold more than 150,000 copies, propelling it into sixth place in the list of Australia’s biggest titles, ahead of stablemate Delicious. And Masterchef’s eventual circulation may prove to be slightly higher yet, as the News Magazines title launched part of the way through the audit period, meaning its first figure is based on two issues only.
The importance of the food sector to the Australian magazine market is underlined by the fact that five of the top ten highest circulating magazines are from that sector.
serious issues for kids magazines!
Go Frankie! Excellent mag.
where does DNA magazine feature I wonder?
If there’s a positive in it all, to be fair to mags they’ve had an onslaught of competitors over the last decade – the internet, ipads, mobiles, pay tv etc, etc, etc and they’ve largely survived and in some instances thrived.
Sadly for publishers they’re just going to have to work on a case of diminishing returns.
That said, there are some truly bloody awful mags out there and their demise should come as no shock… Perhaps trying something ‘new’ could help…
Does Yen get audited?
And what about weekly mags??
I would also like to know if YEN is audited, as well as another Next Media title Inside Sport?
