In our opinion...

Epitomised by fine writing, the diversity of its subject matter and the depth of its research, the Sunday Times Magazine has long been a favourite weekend newspaper supplement for the educated reader with wide-ranging interests. Behind its glossy, high-quality front cover lies a wealth of interesting and thought-provoking features supported by regular contributions and often stunning photography. It's this eclectic mix which defines this popular magazine.

Features include intimate and revealing interviews with renowned stars of screen and stage, and carefully researched accurate reports of other high profile figures from all walks of life from theatrical to political. Contentious lifestyle issues are investigated and factually but sympathetically reported, whilst investigative journalism at its very best digs for the answers behind baffling and unsolved scenarios. Alongside riveting articles, the magazine's reputation for wonderful photography continues unabated, with regular portrait and landscape offerings adding to its appeal. Readers generally have an insatiable appetite for real-life articles, and the Sunday Times competes with 3 regular and popular features
– Relative Values, Best of Times, Worst of Times and A Life in the Day – each of which provides an interesting and often humorous insight into the lives of some well-known figures from the world of arts and entertainment.

The magazine is an attractively presented, interesting and informative publication which regular Sunday Times readers look forward to browsing each week. Written with a deep integrity, it gets to the heart of many of today's issues and lends enormous credibility to any advertising within its pages.
