Arena (magazine)
''Arena'' was a British monthly men's magazine. The magazine was created in 1986 by Nick Logan, who had founded ''The Face'' in 1980, to focus on trends in fashion and entertainment. British graphic designer Neville Brody, who had designed ''The Face'', designed ''Arena's'' launch appearance. The headquarters of ''Arena'' was in London. The magazine was part of Bauer Media and featured articles on food, films, fitness, sex, music, electronics, and books. It was pitched at a similarly upscale audience to '' GQ'', attempting to offer a more adult read than lad mags like '' Maxim'' and '' FHM'', and gearing itself specifically towards the "black collar worker". ''Arena'' launched the careers of British media professionals such as Dylan Jones, the editor of ''GQ UK'' who had served as ''Arena''s editor in the late 1980s. In July 2006, facing competition from the internet, the editorial team behind ''Arena'' launched a team blog which features regular posts from its contrib ...

The ''New Statesman'' is a British political and cultural magazine published in London. Founded as a weekly review of politics and literature on 12 April 1913, it was at first connected with Sidney and Beatrice Webb and other leading members of the socialist Fabian Society, such as George Bernard Shaw, who was a founding director. Today, the magazine is a print–digital hybrid. According to its present self-description, it has a liberal and progressive political position. Jason Cowley, the magazine's editor, has described the ''New Statesman'' as a publication "of the left, for the left" but also as "a political and literary magazine" with "sceptical" politics.
