It was announced yesterday that The
Advocate
print publication will be returning to newsstands in 2013. For more than 45
years, The Advocate has maintained a rich tradition of reporting
cultural and political news, astute commentary, investigative journalism, and
absorbing profiles of interest to the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender
communities. The brand defines what it means to be gay
today as the definitive LGBT news and information source. The brand challenges
and broadens conceptions, provokes conversation, and propels issues both inside
and outside the LGBT world.
“Due to both reader and advertiser demand, we are thrilled
to bring The Advocate print edition back to newsstands in 2013,” said Advocate
editor in chief Matthew Breen and executive vice president Publishing
Joe Landry in a joint statement. “We remain committed to providing timely and
in-depth reporting of issues important to the LGBT community and our community
allies, as well as providing the best media outlet for businesses targeting the
gay market.”
For
the first time in over two years due to strong reader demand, The
Advocate, which has been sold only by subscription since 2010, will
again be available at major distributors nationwide starting February 2013.
Additionally, The Advocate’s thriving online presence has achieved
exponential growth and a devoted social media following and will continue its
timely content and reporting. The Advocate will also continue to
explore and implement new and impactful ways to leverage mobile and tablet
devices to connect with readers whenever and wherever they are.
The Advocate
returns to newsstands on January 15, 2013. The magazine can be purchased at
Barnes & Noble, Hastings, and other select retailers.
