The Rise and Gradual Fall of Loaded Magazine
In April 1994, IPC Magazines launched a new magazine called Loaded
aimed primarily at young men between the ages of 16 and 35. The
magazine was dominated by features on fashion, celebrities, travel,
lifestyle and sport. Loaded a men’s magazine was the first to notice
the gap in the magazine market for men. It could therefore bridge the
gap between the individual sport magazines, the car magazines and the
magazines which contained pictures of women. Loaded rolled all of
these categories into one affordable magazine which contained the
above and more like relevant news and reviews and interviews with
famous people. It was the new magazine on the shelf which attracted
all sorts of men from young teenagers to the working class. This
magazine was initially so successful because this gap in the market
made sure that there were little if any competitors. Loaded provided
readers with articles that interested the readers, by stories that you
would not hear in the news. Loaded was formed under the wing of IPC
which had a very large distribution network IPC Media is the UK's
leading consumer magazine publisher, with an unrivalled portfolio of
brands, selling over 330 million copies each year. Our magazines reach
over 70% of UK women and 50% of UK men – that's over 28 million UK
adults. For years the term 'men's magazine' referred to one of two
things: pornography or sport. But in recent decade a new breed of
men's magazine has entered the public arena. The new breed is thick,
crisp, glossy, low in content, and very, very general. These new men's
lifestyle magazines have caught the interest of the market place, like
never before. Readers today appear to be very much more focused on
themselves, and the magazines have found an editorial format that is
having a profound effect on the marketplace. Loaded, FHM, Men's
Journal, Maxim, Men's Health, Men's Fitness, Stuff, GQ, and the long
established Esquire (which began in 1933) are just some of the
publications that can be found filling the shelves of newsagents

In the documentary film, Page One: Inside The New York Times, the inner world of journalism is revealed through journalists David Carr and Brian Stelter as the newspaper company The New York Times, struggles to keep alive within a new wave of news journalism. The film is dedicated to reveal the true inner mechanics of what modern day new journalists face on a daily basis and leaves the audience almost in a state of shock. It broadcasts news journalism as yes, an old school method of news generation, but it also highlights an important component that reveals the importance behind this “old school” methodology. We often think that progression always correlates with positive products, but the documentary insists that within the case of modern journalism, the new wave method is actually a detriment that can reap negative consequences.
