True Love for West Africa

31 Jan 2005 13:4320 commentsBizLike
Lagos, Nigeria - South African publisher, Media24, has launched popular local magazine title, True Love, in West Africa. The new launch is a totally new product - a glossy magazine with local Nigerian content - positioned as the lifestyle handbook for modern African women. True Love's circulation in South Africa has climbed to over 2 million readers.
Commenting on the launch of True Love in West Africa, Patricia Scholtemeyer, Media24 Magazines CEO, said West Africa offered huge potential for Media24. "Launching True Love is part of Media24's vision of becoming the leading publisher of printed material in Africa. The recently launched True Love East Africa has been a great success and we are very optimistic about this new market."

In turn, Mari Lategan, True Love West Africa's publisher, said: "Today's African woman leads a dynamic lifestyle and wants to be constantly informed and ahead of local and global news and trends. There is a demand for aspirational content and we believe that True Love reflects the very essence of what women want."

True Love West Africa is a monthly magazine, written in Lagos and produced and printed in South Africa. Bola Atta, the editor of True Love West Africa, has an extensive background in both the magazine and television industries, and brings great experience and enthusiasm to the magazine.

"True Love West Africa is the ultimate reflection of the exquisite beauty of the black African woman," Atta said. "Her readers are vivacious, upwardly mobile and contemporary, keeping up with the constantly changing trends of the modern world as they continue to proudly celebrate the diversity and richness of their traditional society."

Oh Well-
Personally i'm not a True Love Fan anymore. I used to get it every month, coz i knew that by the 15th of each month it would be on the shelves. But I lost interest after waiting & waiting. Hope West Africa enjoys it, I personally feel the magazine's standard has dropped. Posted on 8 Feb 2005 07:35

great move-
About time True Love reached the rest of Africa. I think the mag is more than ready to spread its wings throughout Africa, and it's going to do extremely well.
Good move indeed. Posted on 17 Feb 2005 14:51

An understatement-
i've always been a fan of true love and somehow looked forward to having an article of mine published in it. what actually inspired me the first time were the pages of fashion and makeup, style and business ventures but i've taken note that lately there's been little of these pages appearing in the magazine. I get inspiration form them to style my clients, but now i dont seem to find that uniqueness in the magazine anymore. Pls showcase more of these. thank you! Posted on 3 Apr 2010 17:09
