It looks like another tough year for magazine publishers. KK Press have closed their titles T: The New York Times Style Magazine and Cosmopolitan Australia.
There is still no word on potential buyers for Australia’s biggest magazine publisher, Are Media, amid rumours its flagship weekly tabloid New Idea could be axed.
And according to the most recent Guideline SMI numbers, magazine ad revenue for December 2025 was down 29% on the year before.
However, Mumbrella has learned News Corp is planning to expand its Prestige News Network as Vogue takes over the Sydney Opera House for a day this week.
Convenient timing of this positive spin when all the media chatter today is about News Corp’s new round of editorial redundancies.
