In an unprecedented poll, the British Society of Magazine Editors (BSME) has canvassed its members to name the most influential magazine of all time. And the winner is ... Time, the American news weekly.
For several weeks, editors have been making their choice of "the most influential magazine, past or present, dead or alive, published in the English language". The nominations ranged from Life magazine to Loaded and from the Architectural Review to the comic Elektra – Assassin. The early front-runners were Jackie, the girls' weekly which closed in 1994, and Smash Hits, the pop fortnightly which closed in 2006.
Time, the world's biggest-selling news magazine with a circulation of 3m, was nominated by James Waldron, editor of Chemist and Druggist and winner of the BSME's Fiona Macpherson New Editor award for 2018. "Time's covers are so iconic," Waldron said, "that they are still used as shorthand to pinpoint key moments in history. You don't get much more influential than that."
Leading editors, past and present, argued for their choices at a special BSME event held last night at the new Bankside Hotel in Southwark. Ian Birch, former editor of TV Guide and author of Uncovered, an oral history of great front covers, spoke up for New York magazine under its present editor Adam Moss, homing in on the cover Cosby: The Women, photographed by Amanda Demme. "This was in 2015," Birch said, "but it anticipated the whole #MeToo era. It prompted the hashtag #TheEmptyChair and inspired ten more women to come forward with their stories, showing the impact a single image can have."
Melissa Denes, editor of Guardian Weekend, argued for Vogue, particularly in the late Eighties and early Nineties, when it was edited by the late Liz Tilberis. "Vogue is highly influential," she said. "It's the cover everybody wants to be on, from Rihanna to Kate Middleton, and under Liz Tilberis, especially, it was a club that drew the reader in. Full of fun, visual experiment, and driven by the energy and charisma of the original supermodels. It has spawned movies, documentaries, and a hundred other fashion magazines. Vogue is a truly global brand, and yet each edition, British, American, French or Italian, has its own character."
Terri White, editor-in-chief of Empire and Pilot TV, chose Time, now edited by Edward Felsenthal. She singled out a cover from this month, showing Dr Christine Blasey Ford giving evidence to the senate about Judge Brett Kavanaugh, in an illustration by the artist John Mavroudis which made use of Ford's own words.
"That cover moved me to tears when I first saw it," Terri White said, "It will go down in history as an iconic image. Time, which was America's first news weekly when it launched in 1923, still has this amazing ability, even in the digital era, to find its own perspective on a story that has already been everywhere. The double whammy of Brexit and Trump has made the news weeklies more relevant than ever, and Time leads the pack. It has a specific lens, a smart take, on the issues facing the world right now, and its covers, reporting and insight are hugely impactful – not just on its audience, but on other news media and the world at large. It moves beyond the pages of the mag to protest marches, onto placards and over the walls of the White House itself. Anyone who wonders how magazines can still be relevant in 2018 just needs to look at a printed copy of Time, and feel its power."
The BSME event culminated in a live vote with eight magazines on the ballot. Time emerged as the clear winner, with Vogue in joint second place alongside Nova, the innovative British monthly that ran from 1965 to 1975. Fourth was Smash Hits, just ahead of New York, with NME (in the mid-Seventies), Just Seventeen and Jackie completing the shortlist.
The event was devised and chaired by Tim de Lisle, the former editor of Intelligent Life. "The evening produced a worthy winner in Time," he said, "and made for an eye-opening discussion, which ranged from whether the lads' mags of the Nineties were reprehensible to whether today's editors are right to allow stars like Beyonce and Taylor Swift to appear on their cover without giving an interview. What was most striking was the way that magazines that have long since closed down, like Smash Hits and Jackie, live on as influences on today's editors, who grew up loving them. You can take a magazine off the shelves, but you can't take it out of the hearts and minds of its readers."

On Wednesday 23 May at the Citizen M, Tower Hill, the BSME hosted a panel discussion about music magazines, entitled ‘The Rise and Fall and Rise of Music Mags’, with Richard Williams (MM, OGWT, Blue Moment), Jo Frost (Songlines) and Phil Hebblethwaite (Former editor/publisher of The Stool Pigeon, freelance music journalist (BBC Music, The Quietus).
Music magazines are resilient. Despite the proliferation of websites and blogs that can easily embed audio and video files, there is still something special about the appeal of reading about music on the printed page. Look in any mag store (high street or indie), supermarket rack or music shop and you will see dozens of titles – much-loved printed magazines that cover almost every genre. Mags that appeal both to nostalgia and to their readers’ appetites for the next big thing. There are weeklies such as Kerrang! and monthlies including Uncut, Q, Mojo, Mixmag, all with substantial circulation figures.
Add to this titles such as Blues & Soul, DJ Monthly, Maverick, fRoots, Jazzwise, Songlines, relative newcomers such as Long Live Vinyl and Electronic Sound and titles that go back generations, including Jazz Journal (launched in 1946) and The Musical Times (est. 1844). Most genres are covered by at least one print mag.
There are also consumer magazines such as What Hi-Fi and Hi-Fi Choice, the industry weekly Music Week, classical music journals such as Gramophone, Opera, BBC Music magazine and titles focused on the challenges of learning and creating music: Guitar Techniques, Guitar and Bass, Sound on Sound, Future Music, Music Teacher, and so on. The Wire continues to document a dizzyingly wide span of contemporary innovation, while indie title Brick looks at hip-hop with a photographer’s eye. And that’s before we even get on to the topic of fanzines and fiercely local music mags.
These magazines may have little in common apart from a commitment to print and an obsession with music. But maybe that’s enough. All print magazines have to fight their corner of the media landscape. Though the music business is not the cash-stuffed behemoth it seemed to be in the days of the weekly ‘inkies’ (MM, NME, Sounds, Record Mirror, etc.) or the eras of Smash Hits, The Face, Jockey Slut and Straight No Chaser (which recently made a comeback), people continue to love music. Buying magazines about the music they love remains part of the picture.
After an inauspicious start, the growth of podcasts has been one of the content stories of recent times with 24% of UK adults having listened to them in 2017!
But how do you make them work for your title? What content do you need? Who should you get to do them? What equipment do you need to make them work?
Heat’s Lucie Cave chaired a panel of podcast experts to offer insight and answer all of your questions on Tuesday, 6 March at the Which? offices. Sharing their views at this exclusive BSME event were: Empire podcast host Chris Hewitt, David Hepworth from the A Word In Your Ear podcast and Jo Elvin, editor of YOU Magazine and host of the Is it Just Me? podcast.
A bit about our panel…
DAVID HEPWORTH
Legendary music journalist, presenter, writer and publishing industry expert and analyst who has launched several successful British magazines including Q, Heat, Empire and The Word.
Ten years ago he wrote the billing on iTunes for a podcast which said "David Hepworth and Mark Ellen and kindred spirits talk about music and related matters and laugh until they cry."
278 episodes later, the magazine from which it was launched has long gone but the billing is still the same and the podcast soldiers on in the shape of a live event which takes place in a pub in Islington and is subsequently a podcast. Recent guests have included Armando Iannucci and Danny Baker.
JO ELVIN
Award-winning former editor-in-chief of Glamour and incoming editor of YOU magazine, presenter and keynote speaker.
Co-hosted with James Williams, it’s the podcast where they put the trivial front and centre of the conversation. Is it just me who wants to make group dinner outings illegal? Or has a completely different personality, depending on who I’m with at any given moment and it is just me who has absolutely no clue what I’m doing with my life?
Each week Jo and James are joined by a celebrity guest to debate the unimportant matters that somehow really do matter. A lot. Guests have included Jameela Jamil, Suranne Jones, Davina McCall, Graham Norton and Jennifer Saunders to name a small few!
CHRIS HEWITT
The award-winning writer, broadcaster and Associate Editor of Empire (and Empire film podcast host!)
The Empire film podcast – which gets up to 100,000 downloads a week – covers reviews, news and interviews with the world’s biggest filmmakers and actors. Previous guests include Robert de Niro, Harrison Ford, Meryl Streep, Armie Hammer, Tom Hiddleston, Hugh Jackman, Jodie Foster, Jeff Goldblum, Stanley Tucci, Margot Robbie, Sir Ridley Scott, Tom Hanks, Sir Patrick Stewart, Michael Fassbender, Anne Hathaway, Daniel Radcliffe, Denzel Washington and Michelle Williams.
LUCIE CAVE
The event was be moderated by Committee member and Editorial Director of Heat and Bauer Adventure.
We kicked off 2018 in style on Tuesday evening, 9 January with our Future Thinking event. Members and their guests found out what the next big things are in the world of media thanks to Rebecca Ironside, Head of Qualitative Research, who forecasted the future with her insightful look at what lies ahead for 2018.
Generously hosted by Which? it was free for members who had renewed their 2018 membership, and just £20 for guests.
6 things every editor needs to know in 2018
In a world swimming with data, should an editor rely on intel or instinct? And just how important is the copy when the audience increasingly craves pictures?
These were just two of the searching questions raised by Rebceca Ironside’s excellent presentation to BSME members on Future Thinking’s media trends to watch in 2018. Here are the key take-outs.
1. Data – the more we know, the less we really know?
Ninety per cent of the world’s data has been created in the last two years, but less than half a per cent of it is used to make decisions. That sounds woefully profligate, but editors have already seen the danger of leaning too heavily on data. Data doesn’t always accurately predict human behaviour - it didn’t predict Brexit or Trump, for example. But how many times since those watershed events have you heard commentators say that those who were out and about speaking with people – around the UK and US – had a better feel for the way those votes would eventually pan out?
Editors always want to know their audience as intimately as possible, and data-mining makes it seem easier than ever to get this insight. But in among all the data, don’t forget the humans. Data’s a great jumping off point - but real conversations, and real understanding of people’s needs and attitudes, are still essential for honing editorial instinct.
2. More pictures, less copy?
[As your art director has undoubtedly said before…]. Are words on the wane and visuals on the up? Our brains have always retained images better than words, and language is certainly becoming more visual. So while the right choice of images has always been important, it’s now vital – even more so for engaging younger audiences. Editors must increasingly spend time curating great images that tell the story, just as much as they do shaping the copy.
3. Get a grip on your real digital rivals
Rivalry between titles and publishers may make the media world go round, but your audience frankly couldn’t care less. Instead, they’re measuring you against all the other brands they interact with digitally – Amazon, BBC, Netflix etc. We’re all competing for the same precious time, attention and revenue, so editors must first identify the broader digital rivals that aim to scratch the same consumer itch, then figure out how to beat them.
4. Nurture your social channels
Social media is increasingly your brand’s shop window, so can you really afford to leave it to one or two more junior members of staff? Readers’ expectations of customer service, conversation and interaction are all on the up, so if you’re pushing out posts to stimulate engagement, make sure you actually engage – don’t start a conversation only to walk away. For publishers, these interactions are too important to be divorced from the brand’s editorial voice, so if you’re not already all over your social output, 2018 is the year to make sure you are…
5. ‘Alexa, how good is my copy?’
With the rise of Alexa (et al), is your title ready for the era of voice and AI? While many consumers are still sceptical about AI as a technology, voice search is already here to stay – be it on your mobile or via Alexa, for example. But the way we speak to our devices is very different to what we type in a search box, so editors and writers must optimise their content for both. According to Future Thinking, 63% of people haven’t yet used voice search, but 16% are using it daily, with younger audiences driving the most growth. Harness the opportunity, or ignore it at your peril.
6. Relate to your readers, whatever the platform
For editors of magazine brands figuring out how their brand will thrive and survive in the digital age, Rebecca says the key is building strong relationships with readers, whatever the platform. Editors and their teams have a major role to play here – understanding the differences between what readers want in print, digital and social, plus audio and video, and varying the approach for each. It’s hard when resources are already stretched, so tightly focused, integrated commissioning is essential for multi-channel success.

Many thanks to the following for supporting the 2017 BSME Talent Awards:
Thanks also to the following for our fantastic raffle prizes which raised money for The Sick Children's Trust
Editors met for a breakfast briefing at London’s Marylebone Hotel to hear from Sunil Singhvi, UK Head of Strategic Partnerships, and Laura Clare, UK Head of Communications at Instagram, explain how their magazines can make the most of Instagram. Many thanks to our breakfast event sponsor, The Doyle Collection for hosting this event.
Magazines and Pinterest would seem to be made for each other - both are about all browsing visuals, ideas and inspiration. Pinterest started with the simple question “Why isn’t there a tool for collecting all the great things you find across the Internet?” It now attracts 10m monthly unique visitors in the UK alone.
Editors met for a breakfast briefing at London’s Marylebone Hotel to hear from Ayumi Nakajima, Product and Partnerships at Pinterest UK, explain how their magazines can make the most of Pinterest. Here’s 20 top tips we took away from the briefing, which was free for BSME members. Many thanks to our breakfast event sponsor, The Doyle Collection for hosting this event.
“Be yourself, notyour selfie.” People are in Pinterest principally to gather their own inspiration and ideas, not to interact with others or broadcast what they’re doing right now as people do in other social media. It is inward facing rather than outward facing.
Pinterest users Discover and do. Remember they are looking for things that are helpful to them in the real world and to act upon them. The audience is actively looking for ideas.
Provide a good click-through. If there’s no click-through it’s just disappointing. For example, you want to know how to make a recipe not just to look at the fniished dish. It’s not surprising then that three quarters of Pins come from businesses.
Business content comes to Pinterest in 3 ways:
The Pinterest browser button that some users have installed in their browsers
The Save buttons on websites with a social media ‘share this’ bar. This is the most common route.
The business’s profile on Pinterest.
Post early for Christmas – or any other seasonal event. People use Pinterest to plan rather than to report on their activity. So for everything from Glastonbury to Mother’s Day, the searches in Pinterest peak well before the events themselves – as much as a month before.
‘Drip feed’ your posts rather than publishing them all at once, to make them go further and get more attention.
Try to make your posts about ideas that are these three things: helpful, beautiful and actionable. People use Pinterest for shopping, with 93% using it to plan or make purchases. 72% have seen something on Pinterest that they later bought offline and 63% check items they have pinned when they are at a brick and mortar store.
Make your Pin description detailed. Pinterest is more than just pretty pictures, they are meant to be useful and inspirational so use a few sentences to round up some keywords that will surface your Pin in searches. Hint at what’s on the click-through.
The Board description is also important but make it short and sweet
Taller pins take up more space in feeds so go for a vertical aspect ratio 2:3 to 1:3.5 and a minimum width of 600px
Choose compelling images. For product shots consider pictures that show it in use or use multiples like different colours or options
Text overlays on pictures are compelling and give people a reason to click on them
Use strong calls to action like ‘buy now’ in the description and softer ones like ‘explore summer looks’ in overlays
Pin videos from Vimeo or YouTube. They can do well if they’re on the right subject, for example, food or beauty
Incorporate you brand’s logo or masthead into your Pins. Its credibility can increase click-throughs.
Use simple formats like step-by-step guides, tutorials or lists.
Looks for opportunities to contribute to curated boards made by Pinterest’s editorial team.
Invest in an event with Pinterest. An example is the Stylist magazine’s three-day pop-up event in London with workshops based on Pinterest ideas.
Run a simple competition on Pinterest
Try out the new Pinterest Lens – a button on the mobile app that snaps an object and searches Pinterest to provide more information about it. With answers like what it is, where you can buy it and so on, it’s a bit like a Shazam for images.
The event took place on Tuesday, 6 December at the Phoenix Artists' Club. Guests enjoyed drinks, sharing platters for the tables, a bumper BSME Christmas gift bag and – of course – a cracking prize for the winning table. There was also a raffle in aid of the Rainbow Trust Children's Charity, with some fantastic prizes.
Here is a selection of images from the evening.
The results were announced at the 2016 BSME Awards Dinner at The Sheraton Grand London Park Lane Hotel
