I don’t read many glam, chatty or gossip magazines; not because I’m not into this sort of thing; but rather purely because I don’t have the time to read magazines these days.

One day, while I was at work, I had some time without doing anything, the work was so slow and there were no customers.  Therefore, whilst I was waiting I searched the piles of magazines bought by another female colleague for the customers to read while waiting.  I spotted “More” magazine; I instantly remembered that magazine as it was one of the magazines I had sometimes read when I lived in the UK.

It was an old issue for 2nd November 2009. I started to turn over the pages and read a bit. It reminded me of why I stopped reading it in the first place. I’ve read better magazines, before and since.

The magazine is very popular among teens and young women, it is colourful, jam packed with different subjects,  but I was very disappointed after reading a couple of pages and even more disappointed when I read certain subjects and how they dealt with them.  I felt as if the magazine was like cheap version of pornography, with no proper editing and some very shallow subjects; nothing was taken seriously even on the experts page; some serious questions were not professionally answered, and sometimes was inaccurate.  I thought paying such an amount of money is a total waste and I didn’t think it appropriate for young teens because of the sexual content.

What is MORE magazine?

“In theory” More is a glossy magazine designed for older teenage girls and young women but in fact, all women from all ages do read that magazine!

‘MORE’ magazine is published weekly, every Tuesday in the UK, by Bauer Consumer Media Limited and the first issue was published in 1988.  It used to be published once every two weeks until September 2007; it changed to a weekly publication because of the increasing demand from young females!

More magazine has its own website as well which is easy to read and browse for people who enjoy e magazines: www.moremagazine.co.uk

‘More!’ is the UK's fastest growing glossy celeb weekly magazine with 17.3% growth of year-on-year in distribution.

Some basic information before we go further

The magazine is pretty lightweight, made out of thin glossy paper; the cover was very thin - it can easily rip off - while the design of the cover was not the most attractive one.  It
