The Press
As at 5 February

Launched in 2004, Sunday is a glossy treat our readers love, full of great reads and quality lifestyle content, aimed predominantly at women 30-50 but accessible to a broad readership.  It's entertaining and executed with intelligence, style and journalistic credibility, with strong female appeal, but equally accessible to men.  Sunday delivers celebrity profiles, lifestyle and trends pieces in an original and irreverent way. It is directional and useful. Sunday readers are escapists, self-enhancers and DIYers who, besides an entertaining read, want useful information and lessons. They want a mix of international celebrities, with real people, lifestyle stories and latest trends.  Email lorne@nabs.co.nz for further information.
