What is it about?
There's a growing body of evidence that suggests independent magazines, also known as ‘independents’, are thriving in Australia’s print media industry. As editors, owners and publishers focus more on the design and aesthetic aspects of their publications in response to changing reader expectations, there appears to be a demand for independents among female readers. In particular, young adult female readers are choosing to engage with independent women’s magazines in Australia, placing emphasis on the aesthetic reading experience offered by the hard-copy format.
