10 years of Weekend Black

Ten years ago, Roularta Media Group launched Knack Weekend Black and Le Vif Weekend Black: exclusive issues to keep, that are entirely dedicated to a single theme each time. The Blacks are luxury editions on beautiful, environmentally friendly matt paper with a shiny cover. Readers particularly appreciate these high-quality magazines. A recent survey revealed that three out of four Weekend readers love the thematic editions. 66 per cent value the fact that the Blacks look different from ordinary issues of Weekend. Four out of ten readers also indicate that they keep the Black editions for longer.

The following Black editions will appear in 2022:

Black Fashion (23-24/02), Black Luxury (23-24/03), Black Design (20-21/04), Black Travel (08-09/06), Black Fashion (24-25/08), Black Food (28-29/09), Black Design (19-20/10), Black Luxury (09-10/11), Black Party (30-31/11)

Ruth Goossens, editor-in-chief of Knack and Le Vif Weekend, says: ‘As a trend-setting Belgian lifestyle magazine, it is important to pay extra in-depth attention on suitable occasions. This highlights our journalists’ expertise. Besides news and trends, we create a great deal of space in these editions for background stories and extensive, well-developed special reports. The images, many of which are gorgeous, also get the attention they deserve here. The readers aren’t the only ones who cherish the Black editions: the editorial team loves them too, creating them with exceptional care and a lot of enthusiasm.’
