Irish Daily Star on Sunday launches A-Men

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

One of the strangest things about Irish media is the lack of mens publications. Plenty of comers have tried to launch them but failed, due in large part to the influence of UK imports like Nuts, Maxim and Loaded, and more recently because of the Internet. Even still there has always been a gap in the market, so our ears perked up when the Irish Daily Star on Sunday announced the launch of A-Men, Ireland’s weekly glossy men’s magazine. The 52 page magazine is packed full of in-depth sports features, superstar music & movie interviews, gadgets and web clips, city breaks for the boys, motors, jokes, fitness, health, fashion, games and a 7 day tv guide. The first issue hit shelves on Sunday, 11 May. We were lucky enough to have the magazine editor, Des Gibson, come in to tell us all about what to expect in A-Men just prior to the launch.
