We have been facing the considerable spread of the COVID-19 epidemic for several weeks. This has motivated the government to impose strict measures that we wholeheartedly understand and support. 

Roularta Media Group intends to continue assuming its civil responsibility as a media company, informing the population in an independent, reliable and high-quality manner about COVID-19 and other important subjects.

In these turbulent times, people need and consume qualitative and credible media more than ever before.

Roularta Media does not foresee any changes to the current circulation of its magazines: subscriptions will be distributed as usual (bpost stays active) and digital subscriptions remain stable. Bookshop sales are also maintained.

Due to the corona crisis, the ceremony planned for March 17th could unfortunately not take place.

Roularta Media Group (RMG) takes over the 50% participation of the French media group Bayard Presse in Senior Publications, the publisher of the monthly Plus Magazine in Belgium. 

Plus Magazine is a national monthly that appeals to a wide and growing audience of people over 50. It is an inspiring magazine with 5 important pillars: health, law and finance, society, leisure and lifestyle. The magazine has been providing answers to all the questions that people over 50 have been asking for 35 years, with a focus on testimonials and solutions.

In 2020 Steps will be reorienting its editorial approach. In addition to the usual columns (fashion & beauty, body & mind, culinary, home and travel), the editors will be producing various special editions on a carefully selected main topic. The special editions ‘Loving You’ and ‘Communie’, with their renewed concept, fit perfectly into this approach and thus benefit from the power and wide distribution of Steps (at least 250,000 copies per edition).

The special editions for the coming months are: Steps Gold, 4 April, Steps Staycation, 13 June, Steps Loving You, 5 September, Steps Living, 3 October and Steps Communie, 5 December.

For a while now Shell has been claiming to be the 'smart choice for refuelling', with their customers being given useful advice on safety, road comfort and vehicle maintenance.

At the beginning of the summer holidays, the editorial staff of Le Vif Weekend and Knack Weekend will publish their very first summer edition. This particularly thick issue guarantees its readers the ultimate summer feeling, featuring, among other things, beautiful travel destinations, summer locations, pop-ups and recipes.

RMG is reaping the rewards of the subscription policy it has applied on and offline, with rising coverage figures for both business and women’s magazines. With all its titles combined, the group reaches 43% of all Belgians. Roularta stands for quality: each advertiser aiming for the higher segments of society will reach 1 in 2 Belgians in these high-quality target groups with the Roularta titles.

The lifestyle and women’s magazines reach 4 in 10 women (38%). The news and business press titles guarantee 32% coverage of all men, and 36% coverage of businesspeople and decision makers. That makes Roularta Media Group the market leader in all three target groups: women, business and high-quality. 

Distribution of Roularta Media Group’s media brands firmly entrenched thanks to intensive subscription policy for both print and digital

Roularta Media Group’s long-standing subscription policy, combined with intense efforts to attract subscribers through digital channels, has created exciting perspectives for the paid distribution of its media brands. Plus Magazine, the monthly magazine for over-50s, has experienced a substantial increase of 6.14% in a declining magazine market (-6.16%). The number of digital subscriptions to the news magazines is evolving in a highly positive manner. Libelle is still in the top 3 biggest weekly magazines in Flanders. The Free Press titles guarantee massive distribution all over the region.

From May onwards, Nest will become “Libelle-Nest” in Dutch and “Femmes d’Aujourd’hui-Nest” in French, and will appear as a magazine six times per year. The new magazine will also be hosted online at libelle.be and femmesdaujourdhui.be, along with the two other channels Libelle Lekker/Délices de Femmes d’Aujourd’hui and Libelle Mama/Femmes d’Aujourd’hui Mamans.
