Heat magazine

2. Heat magazine
Heat is a British entertainment magazine published by German company Bauer Media Group. As of 2004 it is one of the biggest selling magazines in the UK, with a regular circulation over half a million. Its mix of celebrity news, gossip, beauty advice and fashion is primarily aimed at women, although not as directly as in other women's magazines. It also features movie and music reviews, TV listings and major celebrity interviews. Heat was launched in February As a general interest entertainment magazine, at a cost of more than £4m. However, unlike other, Bauer magazine launches before and after, it was not an immediate success, with a circulation below 100,000. A series of revamps quickly repositioned the magazine as a less serious, more gossip-oriented magazine aimed at women, and circulation quickly grew.

Famous for its unique editorial style, heatworld.com will push these boundaries even further. The magazine is for women mainly this is due to all the content that’s in it. It wouldn’t appeal to men although there are some information which men would want to look at such as football results or what time a TV series is coming on. This magazine doesn’t have a contents page which means all the information is spread out and we have to look for it ourselves although each topic is together such as there will be sections on make up or a section on reality shows.
