Audrey Magazine, or also known as Audrey, was a publication focusing on Asian American women, published quarterly throughout the U.S. [1]

History

The first issue of the magazine hit newsstands in March 2003. [2] The magazine was named after the publisher's daughter to acknowledge that many Asian American women have English names.

Audrey covered Asians and Asian Americans in popular culture, fashion and beauty trends, lifestyle and travel, as well as social and cultural issues relevant to Asians and Asian Americans. Its sister publication was KoreAm . [3] In its 10-year history, Audrey has been an important voice, covering stories well before the mainstream media picks them up, whether it is Asian plastic surgery, an emerging Asian American talent, or the K-pop craze. The magazine has featured Asian and Asian American celebrities on its cover, including Freida Pinto, Maggie Q and Olivia Munn. The magazine is based in Gardena, California.

In 2006, Audrey also began to host the Audrey Fashion Show to feature Asian American fashion designers, models and artists.

Audrey and its sister publication KoreAm were acquired by London Media Trust in 2014. [4] The last print issues of the magazine and KoreAm were published in December 2015. [3] [4]

In 2019, Audrey's sister publication KoreAm rebranded to Character Media , covering the latest in Asian American culture, entertainment and news.

An archive of the previously published issues was created on the Character Media website.
