Men’s fashion magazine Arena Homme+ and sister publication Pophave launched digital subscriptions on Exact Editions.

Readers can subscribe to access the latest issues of the biannual British fashion magazines across web, iOS and Android devices. They can also search the magazine's digitized editions and look up specific people or topics featured in them.

Exact Editions is a platform for publishers to turn printed material into a digitally accessible format for readers.

Digital subscriptions to Arena Homme+ (which recently celebrated 25 years in print) and Pop magazine cost $9.99 a year each.

Arena Homme+’s summer/autumn 2020 and Pop’s spring/summer 2020 issues are now on the Exact Editions platform.

The effects of COVID-19 have disrupted printing and distribution schedules for many publishers.

Last week, quarterly Asian literary magazine Mekong Review launched a digital subscription via Exact Editions to bring its latest issue and archive to readers.

Founder Minh Bui Jones told Publishers Daily at the time the "logistics and costs of printing, distributing and mailing have shot up," due to the global pandemic.

“Making the digital subscription available at this time is a practical solution. We see it as a bridging solution over these troubled times,” he said.
