Cape Town – A news-on-the-go magazine, NewsNow, was launched on Friday 2 September 2011. In a first for SA NewsNow, a weekly news magazine provides time-poor South Africans a digest of news and opinion from here and around the world in a format tailored for busy lifestyles.
The 48-page magazine’s style is a reaction to changing reading habits. "Once upon a time people had hours every day to catch up on news," says Waldimar Pelser, NewsNow editor. "Now many simply can’t find the time. Most of us now read whatever can fit onto a cellphone screen. NewsNow is made for those hectic lifestyles."
NewsNow journalists read thousands of news reports, blogs, tweets, opinion pieces and columns and then condense them into punchy snippets. "We will help busy people to be part of the conversation," Pelser says.
"The editorial pillars are news, business, lifestyle and people,” Pelser adds. NewsNow includes politics, world news, sport, health and food and wine as well as cartoons, pictures, infographics and blogs. The business pages have news on markets, property, personal finance and the economy. "Specialists who manage vast portfolios on the JSE need reams of reports on markets every week. Many more of us need only the important bits."
NewsNow is distributed on Fridays to SA’s big metros then to the rest of the country. The magazine costs R20 in stores and a digital edition is sold through online publisher zinio.com.

NuusNou, the Afrikaans edition of NewsNow, is also available.
