Since it first came out into the publishing industry in the early 70s, People Magazine (then known as People Weekly) had wowed its audiences with its quirky stories, news features, celebrity covers, and of course - everybody’s favorite - its lists of the most beautiful, sexy, and at some point “intriguing” people all over the world. These had definitely become People’s most iconic offerings through the years, boosting its sales and therefore its popularity.
Below we will look at the lists that made the magazine famous!
The Most Beautiful People
The magazine’s legendary “100 Most Beautiful People” is a list of, of course, the world’s most beautiful personalities. These are compiled and published once every year. Before 2006, the list was known as the “50 Most Beautiful People.” Over the years, a lot of celebrities and Hollywood A-listers have made it on the number one spot - some, like Michelle Pfeiffer and Julia Roberts, have even got the title more than once. Winning has become a much sought after award, and winners represent the best of the best in the entertainment industry.
The Sexiest Man Alive
Also an annual feature, the “Sexiest Man Alive” title is considered as one of the benchmarks of men’s attractiveness quotient. Men who get the title often are famous celebrities. The process of determining the winner is similar to Time magazine’s “Person of the Year.” Esquire magazine also has its version of this list - the “Sexiest Woman Alive.”
The beginnings of this tradition is rather whimsical when People staff were having a conversation about Mel Gibson (who they were covering a story for at the time), one female editor said casually: “Oh my God, he is the sexiest man alive!” and the rest was history. The feature didn’t have as much regularity and was published at uneven intervals for its first decade. In 1994, there was no sexiest man alive (apparently) at all. To improve the way things go, the dates have been settled to a once-a-year arrangement (late November to early December) since 1997. To this day, John F. Kennedy, Jr. has been the only awardee who was not an actor, and he was the youngest recipient (at 27) as well. He and Patrick Swayze have been the only awardees who have died since they won the title. Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Johnny Depp are the only multiple award winners.
Aside from the Most Beautiful and the Sexiest Man Alive, People also releases a yearly “Most Intriguing People of the Year” list, comprised of the 25 people that made the most buzz in the world. Past winners of this distinction include British Princess and Mom-to-be Kate Middleton for 2012 and in 2011 she and Prince William won it together. These are People Magazine’s most famous lists, and some people buy copies just to see the contenders and who won the top spot.
Whether you like beautiful, sexy or intriguing people, you are certain to find something to talk about when you review these annual lists.

Food Informants Magazine is relatively in its infant stages, but it has a lot of promise. It’s nice to know that publishers came up with this idea of a food-related magazine that doesn’t quite focus too much on the food. It sounds a bit strange when I put it like that - but as you read on, it will begin to make sense. Food magazines have made us happy, hungry, and crazily inventive in the kitchen (despite what the outcome of these crazes are) for decades and decades. But have you ever thought about the people behind all of this delicious, mouthwatering photojournalism?
This is what Food Informants focuses on. It tells us the stories and the daily lives of the editors of the most successful food magazines, networks, television shows, cooking shows, and so on. In its recent issue, it featured the highly popular TV network-tie in Food Network Magazine’s editor-in-chief, Maile Carpenter. The feature took us to a week-long journey to the routines, activities, appointments, and whatnot that a highly sought-after editor as Carpenter would have on a regular basis.
The idea isn’t all that new, really. In fact, part of the appeal of the magazine’s unique style is the affinity we seem to have towards following the lives of stars and celebrities. Who said the celebrities of cookery and food magazines should be an exemption?

There is probably more than a couple of magazines for every topic, interest, profession, hobby, and activity on the planet today. From fashion to sports to health and wellness to food magazines, we’ve seen it all. And if anything, we aren’t complaining. To see all the hype for journalism, photography, and print media still as strong as it was in the beginning is a good thing to see. It just tells us that people still care about telling stories and want to have audiences to share these stories with.
In the midst of all the publication titles today, it can be difficult to keep track of all the magazines available to us. Usually, we go by gut and pick up copies of those that sound or look appealing to us. More often than not, we choose the titles that are most famous. These are the longer running magazines. Among these are People, Time, The Economist, and others. For the younger generations, there’s Teen Vogue, which just landed its 10th year in the industry. Of course, food magazines are abundant wherever you look. Food & Wine Magazine is celebrating its 35th anniversary in the business this year as well.
It’s refreshing to see publications - whether it’s fashion and celebrity issues or food magazines - that last a long time - decades to centuries, if circumstances permit. This kind of credibility and reputation in such a ludicrous industry can only come from dedication, passion, and love for sharing stories and whatnot.

For many frustrated cooks out there, the food magazine aisle in the local bookstore is a safe haven. The recipes that feature mouth-watering photos of the finished products are enough to make any amateur cook suddenly want to be a world-class chef - if only in one’s own kitchen. This must be the reason why there are so many food magazines today. There’s one for every kind of cooking, every cuisine, every tradition, every region in the country. And we’re not complaining! I say, keep them coming, please!
Personally speaking, I wish I was given the magic hands and palate that today’s most famous chefs have. However, that is not the case (my friends and family would very much agree). And so, it is up to these trusty food magazine recipes and step-by-step guides to get me closer to the dream of not burning a good piece of lamb or turkey. On a more serious note, though, whoever has come up with the idea of “recipes” per se must be a genius. Can you imagine any other easier form of cooking (or learning how to) on your own?
So, on behalf of my sisters and brothers in food crime, thank you to the food magazine industry for keeping our mouths water, our tummies growl, and our fingers bleeding every time we attempt to pull a Gordon Ramsay dish.

Our planet isn’t where it was a hundred years ago. Many of our resources are depleted, or at least facing running out. As a result, we’ve seen many efforts over the years to correct the imbalances in nature. Many individuals and organizations alike campaign for green and sustainable living. This is made possible by taking better care of our environment, recycling materials that can be used over and over instead of piling up the garbage level. One industry that can help contribute to this positive movement is where your magazine subscription comes from.
Magazines, journals, newspapers, newsletters and other forms of publications all use paper to print their material and circulate to their readers. Paper comes from trees - a resource we don’t have an endless supply of. Sure we can plant new trees, but it’ll take more than decades for them to replace the ones cut down today. One good solution for this paper problem is to use recycled paper - this is a cheaper solution, too, in addition to saving the planet. The good news is that more and more publishers are joining in the recycled paper wagon. Is your magazine subscription one of the good guys, too?
