Mr. Magazine

The Mr. Magazine™ Launch Monitor was able to locate and purchase a total of 78 new titles arriving at the nation’s stands for the first time in the month of November. From the 78 titles, 21 were published with an intended frequency and 57 were annuals, specials or book-a-zine.

The new titles covered every topic under God’s green earth, targeted every age group and every lifestyle. Take a look at six new magazines below and check the entire gallery here.

And the next time someone tells you print is dead, take them to visit a newsstand or check the racks at a grocery store and see if they can stick to their words that print is dead. New magazines are the best indicator that print is and will continue to be well and alive and the nation’s stands are the ONLY place where the “proof is in the pudding…”

After a very healthy September, October witnessed the arrival of an even 100 new magazine titles on the nation’s newsstands. One quarter (25 titles) of the new magazines were published with an intended frequency while the remaining three quarters of the October crop (75 titles) were either annual publications or specials and book-a-zines. The October numbers are only one magazine lower than that of September.

Two notable magazines were published as a result of the crowd sourcing fundraising “platform for creative projects” site “Kickstarter:” Howler and Tomorrow. Both are but two examples how technology is used to enhance the power of print. Publishing is believing and believing is the first step to creativity.

Take a look at some of the new magazine launches below and be sure to visit the Mr. Magazine™ Launch Monitor to see each and every one of those magazines.

To all the naysayers and to all who doubt that there is a good, very good indeed, future for print in a digital age, a visit to the newsstands is all what they need to be convinced otherwise.

September has been a very hot month for new magazine launches. A total of 101 new titles, 37 from which were published with a regular frequency, were spotted, bought, scanned and displayed at the Mr. Magazine™ Launch Monitor.

August was a hot month for luxury and upscale magazines. From Dujour to Phoenix International, to Wrist Watch, luxury-magazine launches in August were hotter than the summer hot days of August. Jason Binn, the man behind Dujour, aptly differentiates between the ink on paper publication and its sibling in pixels on the screen. He welcomes readers to the “quarterly magazine” and “monthly experience” referring to the ink on paper as a magazine and to the pixels on the screen as an experience.

A total of 67 magazines, including 17 magazines with a regular frequency, were identified by the Mr. Magazine Launch Monitor as new launches or arrivals at the nation’s newsstands. Six of the new magazines can been seen below. To see all the titles, including one called Fifty Shades of American Women and other specials and book-a-zines, visit the Mr. Magazine™ Launch Monitor here.

A perfect 100 was the total of new magazines with an intended frequency appeared on the nation’s newsstands in the first half of 2012. In addition to that 294 new titles appeared as specials, annuals or book-a-zines.
In the month of June alone a total of 59 titles arrived at the newsstands for the first time including 14 magazines published with a specific frequency (see some images below).
The last magazine arriving on the scene as the month of June comes to a close was Story magazine. The quarterly publication “is directed at readers in Kentucky who are interested in Kentucky life that often falls outside the bounds of traditional media.” With a tag line “Story: Kentucky Has One to Tell,” the magazine provides a welcomed twist on the city, state and regional publications. Check a preview of the magazine here and be sure to be one of the first to take a look at this publication which is the brain child of Julia L. Wilson, Story’s founder and editor in chief.
