Quality, it seems, doesn't always come at a price. A British men's magazine set to launch in September won't have an aspirational cover price — instead, it will be distributed free in major U.K. cities. The new title, which has the working name of Alpha One, is zeroing in on 18- to 35-year-olds looking for alternatives to low-brow men's weeklies such as Zoo and Nuts. "We are going to be liberated from the newsstand, which bullies magazines into being a bit homogenous, [competing] with fluorescent cover panels and scantily clad people," said Mike Soutar, the new magazine's founder and chief executive. "We'll be able to create covers with real punch...and guarantee to advertisers that we'll step around the congested newsstand." Soutar, former editorial director of IPC, former editor in chief of British FHM and the launch editor of Maxim in the U.S., said Alpha One will feature a mix of news, music, film, sports, business and style. It will have an initial print run of 500,000 copies. The backers include Stephen Marks, owner of French Connection; film producer Matthew Vaughn, and Scottish publishing group DC Thompson, who collectively are reported to have raised a total of about $14 million to fund the launch. Soutar's company Crash Test Media is developing the magazine and an as-yet-unnamed company created by Soutar and the backers will publish it. MORE ONLINE
