Since media giant Bauer shut its New Zealand operations suddenly in April, the magazine shelves around the country have been pretty bare. Bauer's Australasian operations have now been bought by Mercury Capital, headed up by Kiwi Clark Perkins. It's unclear what the sale may mean for legacy titles like the Listener, North&South, New Zealand Woman's Weekly and Home. Home's former editor is Simon Farrell-Green, and he's taken matters into his own hands, launching architectural magazine Here this week.
