Deadlines: ISSUE IS OR ISSUE AIN'T

As all forms of printed matter struggle for their inky existence, certain fashion-oriented lifestyle magazines have flourished.

Hoping to duplicate that success, publishers are launching new niche mags designed to snag celebrity-conscious readers. See all four in Deadlines.
