Obamamania To Continue This Week on The Nation's Newsstands

Pasetsky’s Celebrity Weekly Cover Prediction

If you want to buy these Barack Obama covers, Universal News reports they are selling out all over the city!

A big election win for Barack Obama has brought good news to the depressed publishing industry.

In the celebrity weekly and newsweekly magazine sector, there’s been an incredible boost for newsstand sales, according to multiple industry sources.

With that in mind, look for the celebrity weekly category to continue on this non-traditional approach (covering politics) and feature the new first family for next few weeks – AT LEAST.

This is incredible news for the celebrity weekly category, which has suffered from major fatigued over the past year.

By showing that these magazines can expand their topic range and cover the Obamas, this is good news for the entire category.

Last week People and US (above) both cover the Obamas with different angles – leaving the rest of the category to cover the standard celebrity topics like Tomkat and Angelina Jolie.

Bottom line.  There is less of a chance of two magazines having the same topic!

On the newsweekly front, I predict they will stay on the Obama story week after week – if they are SMART.
