MEDIA KIT
The Independent Magazine is the bedrock of The Independent’s stylish Saturday supplement.
Looking fresher than ever thanks to a new look created in consultation with design genius Matt Willey, the magazine packs in big name interviews with the finest photography and long form magazine writing and in The Saturday Miscellany, the best one-page magazine in the business.
The Independent Magazine also boasts some of Fleet Street’s best lifestyle columnists. Alexander Fury’s fashion coverage remains unrivalled for its panache and range, while, Tim Key - one of the best in Britain - brings his irreverence to the funniest column in the newspaper.
Meanwhile, our chef Mark Hix remains one of the most influential voices in British food and Anna Pavord’s long-running gardening column is still the best of its kind. The magazine has also welcomed new regulars, Will Hawkes writes a monthly beer column alongside Anthony Rose on wine, a fitness page takes in new trends in the world of exercise and The Novel Cure by Ella Berthoud and Susan Elderkin dispenses life advice via the pages of literature.
Knowing, good-looking and influential, The Independent Magazine remains a vital part of our readers’ weekends.

PRODUCTION DETAILS
The award-winning New Review magazine never stands still. In May last year we improved our opening and closing pages. Spheres of Influence now opens our Agenda section – it’s a graphic and witty take on what might be, and might soon be, preoccupying our readers’ attentions.
At the other end of the magazine, readers can now enjoy more John Rentoul, already a star columnist of the paper: his Top Ten column on our final editorial page has established itself as an instant hit both in the magazine and online. And alongside our long-running How We Met column is Louisa Saunders’ new agony slot, The Help Desk. With these changes, the magazine is better looking than ever - in the last two years, The New Review has won six design awards.
In 2014, the magazine will continue to be a smart and engaging mix of wide-ranging features, photography, personalities, fashion, style, interiors and food (including Bill Granger, the cookery writer for the pressed but discerning IoS reader). We hope you enjoy it.
