Bauer Trader Media has sold its adventures titles to Adventures Group Holdings, a group of investors led by Robert Gallagher, the current general manager of adventures at Bauer Xcel Media. The magazine titles sold include Caravan World, Campertrailer Australia, Motorhome and Caravan Trader, Travelin, Turu and associated websites. The deal is expected to be finalised at the end of November, with existing Trader staff who work directly on the brands transitioning over to the new business.
Bauer Media has approached Seven West Media about a possible purchase of Pacific Magazines, The Australian is reporting.
Lovely, because we’d like to see all of the mag industry in Australia decimated is what that is saying.

Dolly magazine’s print edition axed after 46 years
ICONIC teen magazine Dolly has been axed, with its publisher Bauer Media pulling the pin on the print edition of the publication after 46 years.
The decision comes just seven months after the publisher decided to reduce the magazine to a bimonthly print edition and focus on mobile content.
No wonder newsagents are shutting up shop everywhere.
yep, my local closed down. a subagency which is a florist/gift store and coffee shop now sells the papers.

The women’s magazines are just constantly getting smashed for their bullshit stories now. It’s happening almost every week. You have to wonder how much this is affecting their circulations now.

but isn’t most of their show sourced from their New Idea friends?
Which is why they know that these people sit around the office all day and make shit up.

An absolute epic fail from Woman’s Day this week with a Fake News story about Noelene Hogan which they must have just made up sitting around the office and quoting supposed sources.
Not only did they get it wrong that her relationship with new husband was still going well, since her husband died years ago, but they provided a photo as proof to back up their “sources” which was actually a photo of her out shopping with her son.
Yeah but I’m not sure the Daily Smellograph is one to be too high and mighty about fake news/gossip.

Absolutely right. It never seems to stop them beng judgemental and making stuff up.
I’m shocked to report that TV Week has had a cover that was not Home and Away for two weeks running. Last week it was 800 Words and this week it is Married At First Sight for the first time.
Even more shocking, they also had a My Kitchen Rules recently so that’s three out of the last four issues.

TV Week is running a reader survey. Here’s a chance to tell them to put something in the magazine besides Home & Away every week. You can be in the running for cash prizes: $250 and 2 x $50.
Bauer Media has decided to axe Rugby League Week which was first published in 1970. The closure is bad timing given the new NRL season just started last week. The final issue will be published on March 27. Bauer has reached an agreement with the NRL in which the league will take over the Immortals concept and the magazine’s archives.
This will leave News Corp’s Big League as the only weekly dedicated to rugby league in Australia.

Network Ten reveal the fate of the show
No, they don’t.

TEN responds to Neighbours axe claims
The headline is factually incorrect. Network Ten isn’t mentioned in the article at all. And the response that they did get from Fremantle was as vague as they come. I suppose technically it’s a response but it doesn’t say anything we didn’t already know.
Neighbours initially aired in 1986, and has provided 31 years of entertainment. The UK is the series’ largest fan base in the world. Can the show survive without them?
Technically, Neighbours did initially air – in the UK – in 1986. But in Australia it was 1985.
The first telling sign that the drama series was facing a shift came about when BBC 1 removed the series from its primetime slot and shelved it onto Channel 5. It has remained there since 2008.
BBC1 did not remove it and “shelve it onto Channel 5”. BBC1 wanted to keep the show but the producers upped the price out of the BBC’s reach. So Channel 5 picked it up. Not the same thing.
I suppose in this era of post-truth, click-bait and junior writers who were barely born in the last millennium and seemingly can’t even google… this is the new normal.
But, hey, they got me to click on the headline so mission accomplished, yeah?

I find I fall for the same sort of click bait and then it gives me the irrits when I don’t see anything I don’t already know and it’s littered with inaccuracies. 
TV Week is run on the smell of an oily rag now, no surprise the quality is poor.
Claire Askew is quitting as Cosmopolitan editor after nearly four years with Bauer Media, to spend more time with her family. She will remain at the company until April 6.
