The Advocate Launches Stand-Alone Digital Edition

The Advocate, the world’s leading gay news source, today launched its own unique digital edition through Zinio, the world's largest newsstand and bookstore. Beginning in February, the stand-alone digital edition provides Advocate readers instant access to the publication’s award-winning news, features, and commentary—wherever and whenever they want—on iPad, iPhone, PC, Mac, and select Android devices. The Advocate’s digital edition was previously available as a supplement to its sister publication, OUT.

“We are thrilled to partner with Zinio to offer readers instant access to The Advocate’s authoritative coverage of gay and lesbian news, politics and entertainment through our new stand-alone digital edition,” said John Knoebel, Here Media’s Vice President of Consumer Marketing. “This new launch will allow Advocate readers to subscribe or purchase single copies and enjoy the convenience of accessing them through their choice of mobile devices including the Apple iPad. Equally exciting, readers will be able to accumulate a digital archive of their favorite articles and issues for fast access in the future.”
