Live is another innovative magazine from The Mail on Sunday. It is the only weekly men’s magazine in national press, launched in October 2005, designed to give our male readers a reason to by the newspaper package every week.Editorial content is topical, lively and packed with information and recommendations for the male consumer on all he needs to know about the latest technology, cars, style, leisure activities, food, drink and entertainment.Live magazine has been showered with commendations in the last two years: it is the first British publication to win a prestigious American Society of Journalists and Authors award, for freelance journalist Jonathan Green, awarded to narrative or literary journalism dealing with major topics. Green’s work for the magazine has also won accolades from Amnesty International, the Foreign Press Association and the Magazine Design and Journalism Awards.

tsOur star columnists top and tail the magazine.Every week, Dylan Jones, style guru and Editor of GQ magazine offers his witty and incisive take on life as a modern man.

Piers Morgan, broadcaster, media personality and author of best-selling books The Insider, and Don’t You Know who I Am? entertains us with a feast of frank (sometimes frankly indiscreet!) and funny anecdotes from his busy social diary.

Last year, Piers was awarded the accolade of Columnist of the Year by the Magazine Design and Journalism Awards panel. The judges commented: “Piers treats the A-list like a bunch of mates in the pub. The copy is a hoot; the insights often startling,”

rsLive magazine’s features range across a broad spectrum of topics, all designed to entertain and inform.Our cover stars - Hollywood icons, men in the public eye, sporting personalities - are always profiled in depth.

Boys’

toys/

Tech

Gadgets and boys’ toys are at the heart of Live. Technology advances almost on a daily basis and readers who want to remain well-informed only have to turn to our regular reviews of the latest developments in HDTV, digital cameras, mobile phones, broadband access etc.

Live’s games and gadgets expert, Rob Waugh, reviews the latest in must-have entertainment in his Live for Tech column. Readers can expect fair and frank reviews of new computer games and gadgets on the market, with regular sneak previews and insider information.

eLive shows its investigative credentials with regular real-life coverage of life at its grittiest. We have gained a reputation for tackling the toughest stories, helped by our award-winning regular correspondent Jonathan Green, honoured at Press Gazette’s 2008 Magazine Design and Journalism Awards and the Foreign Press Awards for his expose: The Dirty Secret of Your NHS, plus an Amnesty International Media Award for his report Selling Soccer into Slavery, a report on the exploitation of young Senegalese men, promised Premier League riches. In 2007, Jonathan helped Live become the first British publication to win a prestigious American Society of Journalists and Authors award and was voted Best Feature Writer at the 2007 Magazine Design and Journalism Awards.

In recent issues, Jonathan exposed Sudan’s grave future and its implications for the West; TV reporter Donal Macintyre has investigated Manchester gangster culture and how our privacy is being increasingly compromised by cctv; BBC and AL-Jazeera correspondent Nadene Ghouri spent time with the police in war-torn Kabul and Phil Robinson reported on the battle for control between the Triads, the Government and the casinos in Macau.

Moto

rsLive’s regular motoring columnist is TV chef James Martin. James has a lifelong passion for cars, a rare eye for what makes a car great and a provocative way of explaining why. He owns one of the country’s most impressive collections of performance cars, motorbikes and other motoring paraphernalia so he’s the perfect man to excite Live readers with his passion and strong views on all things fuel-driven.

Recent issues have seen him driving his dream car, a 1960s Ferrari 250 GT, chasing track-day thrills in a Lotus 2-Eleven, being driven around Silverstone by Grand Prix star Jenson Button and checking out new models from VW, Fiat, BMW and Land Rover.

Food

and

nk

Tom Parker Bowles is Live’s resident foodie. Every week he writes a lively and inventive column centred around good food and drink. The topic could be a restaurant review with featured recipes from the chef, ideas for using seasonal produce, the latest kitchen gadgets, cookery books or new drinks on the market.

Tom is passionate about food and in particular, British produce. Readers are assured of enthusiasm and great recommendations, living up to the magazine’s credo of making sure our readers are the best-informed (and best-fed!) in the market.

Olly Smith joined the magazine in 2009 as our wine guru, bringing vast expertise and enthusiasm. He tastes hundreds of wines a week and his knowledge of everything from bargain-basement to the most rarified vintages has seen him voted International Wine and Spirits Communicator 2009. Olly also sits on the judging panels for the International Wine Challenge and the Decanter Awards.
