NW (New Weekly) magazine is a weekly magazine (typically 110 pages) published in Australia. It offers articles about media celebrities, Hollywood gossip, clothing, makeup, dieting, and entertainment. New Weekly was started by 1993 by then Australian Consolidated Press executive Richard Walsh, with a renaming to NW in 1998. Circulation is currently around 200,000.[1] It has an irreverent tongue-in-cheek tone. The current editor is Zoë Barnes. It won the Australian Magazine of the Year Award in 2006.[2] Typical articles include:
- Who may or not be pregnant based on 'baby bumps' or photographs of people holding their stomachs in a certain way
- Celebrities diets, who is losing weight and who is gaining
- Stars without makeup, Stars with too much makeup
- Stars with cellulite
- Who is planning 'secret' weddings, or secret divorce agreements
- Who is dating who (or maybe that should be whom, or dating both who and whom)
- Which stars are currently suffering from anorexia
- Bikini Bodies
The magazine also includes a large crossword puzzle ("Crozzle") that takes many hours to complete (if at all), with a $1000 prize draw.
