Abstract

Gossip magazines in Spain have evolved and adapted their reasoning to the new social reality, the demand for other types of information not only that of "tabloids" but also in terms of practicality and directed at a specifically feminine audience. A change that has been stimulated by the decline in terms of audience and the propagation of such magazines, by competition from other weekly publications which have flagged the pattern of new contents and by the various business changes which have taken all the magazines analysed, with the exception of ¡Hola!/Hello!, to be absorbed and thus, moving away from being family enterprises becoming multinationals in the publishing industry.
