The joint publishing venture between EMAP and French group Hachette Filipacchi is likely to be discontinued following Hachette’s acquisition of Attic Futura (see Hachette Buys Attic Futura For ), according to reports.
Attic Futura publishes six titles including the market-leading teen title Sugar, the fortnightly gossip magazine Inside Soap and women’s magazine B.
It is expected that Hachette will exit the partnership taking the Elle titles, whilst EMAP retains Red, New Woman and Top Santé.
