Icon Magazine

Icon Magazine

"Icon Magazine" is a bi-monthly magazine set up in 2005 by ex-professional footballers Tim Sherwood and Jamie Redknapp along with Redknapps' wife Louise Redknapp. The magazine is the first venture of Redknapp Publications and its readership is exclusive as it is not sold in shops and it is aimed at a celebrity readership. Originally intended to be just for professional footballers, it has now branched out to many other international sports people as well as television personalities, actors and selected first class airport lounges. Official readership currently stands at around 25,000. [ [http://www.iconmagazine.co.uk/readership.html Readership info from the official "Icon" website] ]

The magazine has four section StyleIcon, FashionIcon, LifestyleIcon and TravelIcon. Jamie himself often conducts the interviews for the front page articles with Louise and Tim conducting other interviews. The magazine has a cover price of £6 but celebrity subscribers do not officially have to pay for it.

In March 2008 it was revealed in The Sun newspaper that the magazine had hit financial difficulties and was losing £85,000 a year. A former worker for the magazine said "“They are so busy with their celebrity lives and their children, they haven’t got time to do everything they want to do at Icon.”" [ [http://images.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article732065.ece A short report from "The Sun" newspaper] ]
