New Idea is a long-running Australian weekly magazine aimed at women, now published by Are Media. [1]
The magazine was first published in 1902 [2] by Fitchett Bros. The founder was Thomas Shaw Fitchett. [2] It was subtitled A Women's Home Journal for Australia. [2] In 1911 the magazine was renamed as Everylady’s journal, but in 1928 the title was changed back to New Idea. [2] Fitchett Brothers changed the name of their company to Southdown Press (later renamed Pacific Magazines). [2] Following World War II the company was acquired by Keith Murdoch and then became part of the Murdoch media consortium. [2]
In June 2006, the magazine was ranked 3rd in Australia in circulation, with an audited circulation of 433,176; it ranked ahead of Reader's Digest . [3] The magazine's readership in 2004 was in excess of 2 million [4] and had increased to 2.364 million in 2005/6; [5] that is the magazine is read by more than 10% of Australia's population. However, in recent years weekly sales figures have dropped to a March 2014 audit of 280,206. [6] In December 2014 readership had halved to 1.265 million, [7]
In what may be termed the golden era of popular magazines, 1950–1980, a popular column was "Mere Male", where readers recounted humorous stories where an "MM", usually a husband, was the (affectionate) butt of the joke. Several anthologies of stories from the period have been published [8] and the expression became part of the Australian vernacular.
In January 2008, it revealed details that Prince Harry was with the British army serving in Afghanistan, in breach of an agreement with the major news organisations. [9] It ran updates on the story on two further occasions. When the United States Drudge Report ran the story on 28 February 2008, the prince was forced to abandon his posting and return to the UK. After the story broke much more widely, New Idea pulled the story from its web site and made itself unavailable for comment to other members of the press. [10] [11] Two months later, the magazine issued an apology for publishing the story. "We regret this serious lapse of judgment. We sincerely apologise to all our readers, to the servicemen whose lives are at constant risk while serving at home and abroad and to their families and loved ones."
New Idea was criticised on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Media Watch for the use of sensationalist headlines and content. [12]
In 2016, actress Eliza Szonert threatened to sue New Idea because the magazine refused to pay her an agreed sum of A$7000 for a tell-all interview about claiming back her child from an ex-partner living overseas, with the magazine claiming she had lied about entering drug rehabilitation. [13]
As of 2020, New Idea is published by Are Media, [1] the successor to Bauer Media Australia. [14]

Print circulation is the average number of copies of a publication. The number of copies of a non-periodical publication are usually called print run. Circulation is not always the same as copies sold, often called paid circulation, since some issues are distributed without cost to the reader. Readership figures are usually higher than circulation figures because of the assumption that a typical copy is read by more than one person.

A digital edition is an online magazine or online newspaper delivered in electronic form which is formatted identically to the print version. Digital editions are often called digital facsimiles to underline the likeness to the print version. Digital editions have the benefit of reduced cost to the publisher and reader by avoiding the time and the expense to print and deliver paper edition. This format is considered more environmentally friendly due to the reduction of paper and energy use. These editions also often feature interactive elements such as hyperlinks both within the publication itself and to other internet resources, search option and bookmarking, and can also incorporate multimedia such as video or animation to enhance articles themselves or for advertisement purposes. Some delivery methods also include animation and sound effects that replicate turning of the page to further enhance the experience of their print counterparts. Magazine publishers have traditionally relied on two revenue sources: selling ads and selling magazines. Additionally some publishers are using other electronic publication methods such as RSS to reach out to readers and inform them when new digital editions are available.
