- Glamour Australia to debut in June as a social and video-driven platform
- Partnership with Myer highlights focus on beauty and lifestyle content
- Launch signals News Corp’s strategic push into digital lifestyle brands for younger audiences
News Corp Australia is bringing Glamour back to local audiences with a digital-first Australian edition of the long-running fashion and culture title, in a move that underlines the publisher’s continued push into lifestyle brands for younger readers.
Glamour Australia is due to debut in June as a social, video and digital-led platform, with Myer signed on as exclusive beauty partner. News Corp said further editorial appointments will be announced later.
The Australian launch extends News Corp’s partnership with Condé Nast and adds Glamour to a stable that already includes Vogue and GQ in the market. The title, first launched in New York in 1939, ended its print run in 2019 and now operates in multiple international markets through licensing arrangements.
Edwina McCann, News Corp Australia’s editorial director and publisher for its Condé Nast titles, said the brand would be designed for “today’s young Australians” and would be built around the platforms they use most, with a standalone site, mobile-first design and a focus on video and commerce.
Nicholas Gray, News Corp’s prestige publisher, acknowledged the crowded state of the lifestyle market but said the company was taking a deliberate bet on the category, pointing to the scale of its wider network and its experience in lifestyle publishing.
The rollout will begin on social media from mid-2026, before the website and newsletters follow later in the year. That timing suggests News Corp is treating Glamour less as a traditional magazine relaunch than as a broader content ecosystem aimed at building audience, influence and advertising opportunities across platforms.
