It’s a great time to be alive.
And the whole floor of the NYSE was like ‘U-S-A!!!, U-S-A!!!’ Just brilliant.

Esquire’s editor-in-chief departs
Esquire Australia’s editor-in-chief Christopher Riley is leaving the publication, with a new leadership structure to be implemented.
Riley has helmed the publication since its relaunch in Australia by Switzer Media in March, 2023, during which time he reinforced the magazine’s position “as a leading voice in men’s lifestyle and culture”, according to publisher Alex Switzer.
He is leaving the company to return to the UK, for personal reasons.
The existing editorial and commercial teams will continue to operate under the current structure while a new editor-in-chief is appointed.

CSIRO to shut Cosmos magazine after 20 years
The CSIRO has announced it will stop printing popular science magazines Cosmos and Double Helix, with the national science agency blaming “the rising costs of producing print magazines.”
This comes less than year after CSIRO Publishing, the agency’s editorially independent publishing arm, took ownership of Cosmos from the Royal Institution of Australia, who had published the quarterly science news magazine since 2018.
Cosmos, which launched in 2005, will release its final print edition next month, before moving to an online-only format.
The cosmosmagazine.com website — which currently houses online news, as well as curriculum-mapped lessons for high school teachers — will transition to be CSIRO Publishing’s new “digital destination for science content”. It will publish peer-reviewed papers, e-books, and science news.
Double Helix, a magazine aimed at school-aged readers, which launched in 2015, will close down completely.
Clickbait headline, Cosmos is not shutting down but moving to an online-only format. The headline implies a full shut down.

Vinyl declines to confirm print future of Rolling Stone Australia
The publisher of Rolling Stone Australia has declined to comment on the future of the masthead’s quarterly print edition after the company decided not to publish the September edition.
Vinyl Group, which licences Rolling Stone from the US-based Penske Media Corporation, was asked by Mumbrella to confirm whether the September edition has been axed, and whether this signalled an intention to stop printing the magazine altogether.
Although the company did not directly answer the question, a spokesman responded with a statement which seemed to signal a digital-only future for the title:
“As the licensee of the greatest culture magazine in the world, Vinyl Group is deeply committed to the future of Rolling Stone in the AUS/NZ market.
“Since taking over the license from The Brag Media and renewing it earlier this year, we’ve grown views of Rolling Stone AU/NZ properties by more than 2,500%, and we’re now focused on strengthening both the business and its editorial direction.”

New Zealand’s Dish magazine launches into Australian supermarkets
From this month, Dish will be available across Australia, with distribution through Coles, Woolworths, and Ritchie’s IGA stores. At first, Tuck (Sarah Tuck, CEO and editor of Dish) and her team will ship 6000 copies to supermarkets, with a further 1000 earmarked for subscribers, but she expects these numbers to quickly grow as the magazine finds an audience.
Dish has previously been available in Australia in a limited fashion, directly through mail-order subscriptions, or as a rare import in scattered newsagencies. Dish’s own research shows this current Aussie audience is made up of 20% New Zealand ex-pats – but mostly consists of food lovers who’ve stumbled across a copy in Australia and quickly latched on.
In a nod to its expanded distribution, the new issue of Dish features an extract from an Australian cookbook using native Australian ingredients, a quick Q&A with the Masterchef judges, and a feature on Australian shiraz – but Tuck and her team won’t be pandering too heavily to its new audience.
Maxim Australia has released its final issue. Surprised it’s lasted this long, given its target audience can get their semi-naked ladies online.
