News Corp Australia will have a new-look Sunday magazine this weekend, with Body+Soul becoming a standalone magazine and Stellar and The Binge Guide pairing up as a flip cover magazine.
The new magazines will be published weekly in the Sunday Telegraph in NSW, the Sunday Herald Sun in Victoria, the Sunday Mail in SA and the Sunday Mail in Queensland.
Body+Soul, Stellar and The Binge Guide editor-in-chief Sarrah Le Marquand will lead the expansion of the brands.
“Since Body+Soul first launched, Australians have come to define the notion of health as encompassing not only physical wellbeing, but also lifestyle, relationships, sexuality, self-care and mental wellness,” says Le Marquand.
“In acknowledgment of this, on Sunday we unveil a new look Body+Soul, with increased pages of expert advice covering everything from fitness, nutrition and beauty to family issues, social dilemmas and – in response to reader demand – more shoppable content. And among the new faces joining our highly respected regular contributors are much-loved Olympian Lisa Curry and inspirational burns survivor Sophie Delezio.”
Each week Body+Soul will now also feature healthy taste.com.au recipes, and after its successful launch of The Edit section last spring, that content will be expanded upon each week in Shop Body+Soul, allowing consumers to shop the issue via QR codes in conjunction with affiliate partners.
Body+Soul’s podcast offering is also expanding, with Healthy-ish having doubled its audience since moving to a daily format in August last year. The podcast series has been expanded to include a new long-form podcast Extra Healthy-ish offering extra bits from favourite guests, extra expert intel from doctors, dermatologists and more.
