Magazine Changes: Superclassics, XL And New Statesman
IPC Magazines has closed Superclassics, the upmarket quarterly devoted to classic cars. The closure of the magazine, which lasted just four issues, is blamed on rising paper costs.
Stonehart Publishing has sold men’s health magazine XL to Affinity, the publisher of over-50s magazine Goldlife. The last issue published by Stonehart comes out this week. The title’s latest circulation, for Jan-Jun’95 was 68,140.
Labour MP Geoffrey Robinson has emerged as the saviour of left-wing weekly the New Statesman. He will pay off the ailing title’s debts and fund a redesign and promotion. The title currently sells 20,000 copies per week.
