U.K.-based The Spectator is launching a U.S. edition,
the publication announced.
The Spectator will
put out its first monthly U.S. print edition on Oct. 1. The
publication dates back to 1828.
“With our
unparalleled success in the U.K.
and our happy experience in Australia ,
we’ve decided it’s time to bring our unique brand of magazine journalism to the
U.S.
Like its mothership back in London , The Spectator’s
U.S.
edition will be no dour, dull, run-of-the-mill political magazine,” said Andrew
Neil, chairman of The Spectator worldwide. The
publication will also cover books, culture, the arts, food, wine and travel,
Neil said.
The U.K. edition
has record print/digital sales of over 100,000 (ABC audited) and is profitable,
according to The Spectator.
British
Prime Minister Boris Johnson was a Spectator editor.
The Spectator launched an
Australian edition 11 years ago, which is profitable, according to The
Spectator.
Subscription
will be $7.99 a month for the print and digital bundle and $3.99 a month for
digital only.
