Saturday Magazine

In the three years since its launch, SATURDAY magazine has established itself as a beautiful, fun, must-read newspaper supplement delivering the very best features, long reads, interviews and photography every weekend.

Guardian readers want to be challenged, amused and entertained, and we give them all that and more. We make sure every issue has striking imagery, riveting stories, thrilling interviews, and writing that stops you in your tracks.

We never take our audience for granted: everything we publish earns its spot in the magazine. It might be highly exclusive (interviews with everyone from Dua Lipa to Jodie Foster, Caster Semenya to Keir Starmer); beautiful (our now iconic photography specials from feminist photos to fashion images); jaw-dropping (our reported piece about the ‘pronatalist’ American couple attempting to repopulate the planet), or especially warm and playful (our over-60s blind date special issue).

In the past year we have spent the day with ‘changed man’ Jeremy Clarkson on his farm, where he claimed his persona was all an act; published Rachel Eliza Griffiths on the day her husband Salman Rushdie was stabbed; photographed team GB’s Olympian mothers with their children; brought together high profile campaigners for the right to die (from Prue Leith to Jonathan Dimbleby); and sent a photographer backstage across London theatres to capture the stars at their mirrors, including cover girl Sarah Jessica Parker. From a bruised and bloodied (and very game!) Louis Theroux in boxing gear, to chef Meera Sodha’s homage to Andy Warhol’s soup tin, our cover images make a splash.

All of our journalism makes its mark online, where an average of 5 million people read our pieces every weekend. The talented team think about print and digital in a seamless way that makes sure articles fly. Saturday magazine regularly tops the chart when it comes to measuring how long readers spend on articles.

Within the magazine, distinct sections give every reader something to relish. Lifestyle has established itself as a home to clever, useful and inspiring pieces about how we live now, from relationships to health to sex, as well as an enviable line up of expert columnists our readers trust on beauty, fashion, gardens and travel. Culture is high brow, lowbrow and everything in between, from guides to Glastonbury to visual art spreads and a supremely helpful spread on what to see and do each weekend. Review is home to exclusive interviews, big-name reviews, provocative essays and memoir pieces by great authors. All of these sections showcase diverse voices at the very top of their game and together make a strong brand identity. Producing the magazine is a team effort; the outcome is a hugely varied and distinct supplement. We set the agenda, with articles that are discussed all weekend and are then followed up elsewhere. Our loyal readers often tell us how much SATURDAY means to them; it’s a privilege to give our readers the very best newspaper magazine in the business.
