Discovery Channel Magazine Rolls Out in Asia

SINGAPORE, February 22:
Discovery Networks Asia has teamed up with publisher Reader’s Digest Asia for
the launch of Discovery Channel Magazine, which is now available at newsstands across Asia.

Published bi-monthly, the
family-targeted Discovery Channel Magazine features concise articles and images that encompass a wide range of
topics—from demystifying science and technology and decoding animal
behavior to unraveling history and exploring ancient civilizations.

The inaugural issue takes
readers to the many worlds of Discovery— the world of tomorrow (Your
Future Life), the world that
shaped us (Secrets of the Sands),
the world we share (Back from the Brink), the world in our grasp (Guilty! Convicted in the Crime Lab) and the world beyond us (Stalkers of the
Supernatural).

The magazine is available
in China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines,
Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.

Rosemarie Wallace, the
regional managing director of Reader’s Digest Asia, is the publisher of the new
magazine. A separate team of experienced writers and designers has been
assembled to work on the new magazine, which will be based in Singapore. The
editor-in-chief of the English edition of Reader's Digest in Asia, Jim Plouffe,
oversees the Discovery Channel Magazine.
