Smash Hits Closes

By Guy Brighton on February 1, 2006


One of the biggest British teen mags has folded after it lost its audience’s "bedroom time" to the internet and mobile phones. Mark Frith, former editor of Smash
Hits was reported in the Guardian as saying that the bi-weekly had been caught out by the rise
of digital media:

"Today’s teens want faster, deeper information about
music and can now satisfy their hunger by accessing information on a
whole range of new platforms including TV, the internet, mobile and so
on."
