The Cooperative Supermarkets have called for a number of men’s magazines to tone down or remove images of women from their covers. The Guardian has a good coverage of the story.
It also has a letter from lawyers on the topic.
Marketing Week is also covering the issue.
For further details on the campaign to remove these magazines from public display see the Lose the Lads Mags website which is supported by a number of feminist groups.
For details on the readership of these magazines and comparisons with other popular titles get free basic recent data from the National Readership Survey. Nuts and Zoo are listed under general weeklies. The site also gives data by age, sex and region for readers.
