FHM is back in print in Australia, targeting men who “train harder, think bigger, and still appreciate the perfect cover girl”.

The original iteration of the magazine was published in Australia by EMAP and then ACP Magazines between 1998 and 2012, using the popular British lads mag format.

It’s now been revived in Australia by Michael Downs and Nuclear Media, which also publishes Women’s Fitness, It Girl, and Krash……

Downs said FHM and Nuclear Media are here for a good time, and advertisers and readers can expect “a brand that speaks to men, the way they want to be spoken to. Irreverent, unapologetic and pandering to nobody”.

OK…so they’ve not really closed down Maxim, they lost the license for the name, and are now FHM.

I know they had issues with the US owners wanting to pull the license for the name.

Nuclear Media acquires K-Zone and Total Girl magazines

Publisher Nuclear Media has acquired the iconic Australian children’s magazines, Total Girl and K-Zone.

The acquisition sees Nuclear Media take over the Total Girl and K-Zone publishing operations from Nextmedia — the media company that bought the titles from Pacific Magazine in 2016.

Nuclear Media will revitalise both brands’ editorial, while investing in digital offerings “and new audience-building initiatives” to futureproof the magazines’ brands.

The acquisition is not expected to impact the titles’ publishing schedules.

‘Devastated beyond words’: Cosmopolitan Australia publisher KK Press folds

Independent publishing house KK Press, which relaunched Cosmopolitan Australia, has gone into voluntary liquidation after just five years of operations.

Founded in October 2020 by Katarina Kroslakova, former editor of the AFR’s Life & Leisure and Luxury magazines, the company began the winding-up process on 30 January, coming almost a month after Cosmopolitan Australia quietly ceased publishing.

The closure of KK Press also marks the end of T: Australia, The New York Times Style Magazine title for which Kroslakova had secured the licensing agreement prior to the company’s founding.

Following Australia’s youth social media ban, South Australian publisher HWR Media is launching Teen Spirit, a national, quarterly print magazine focused on Australian music, targeting 14 to 18-year-olds.

With a nod to the early ‘90s anthem of teenage angst, ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit,’ the magazine is an extension of the three-year-old title, The Note, which has successfully tapped a niche youth audience in South Australia.

From South Australia to Sydney, Brisbane to Broome, the magazine shines a spotlight on music in every corner of the country with eight state and territory-specific editions. On top of nationwide coverage, every issue includes a hyper-local section, sourced by writers who are experts in their hometown’s music scene.

Each quarter, 45,000 copies of the free print magazine will be distributed directly to high schools around Australia, reaching 100,000 14-to-18-year-olds, in addition to a dedicated Teen Spirit online portal.

The first national editions of Teen Spirit drop in March.
