Prevention magazine given lifeline by Nextmedia

Health magazine Prevention has been thrown a lifeline after Nextmedia decided to pick up the local license from US publisher Rodale Inc, after Pacific Magazines decided to dump the title.

In August Pacific Magazines announced it was pulling out of Prevention, with the license reverting back to Rodale in January.

David Gardiner, CEO of Nextmedia, said: “Prevention is a well-respected and trusted voice in the healthy lifestyle sector. We are very excited to be adding Prevention to our health and food portfolio.”
