News International launches magazine app on Facebook

Mon Jan 30 2012, 16:42 PM

News International is launching an app for its Fabulous magazine on Facebook in a bid to leverage higher readership for the publication, which appears in the Saturday edition of The Sun, in the media corporation's latest push into digital publishing. Content from the magazine, including beauty advice and fashion tips, will appear in users' timelines and can be posted across both Facebook and Twitter as the publication seeks to boost traffic through social sharing. The app also features Fabulous Radio, allowing users to create playlists on Spotify, and a weather app that helps users pick outfits based on local weather. This is News International's latest push into the space, with rumours that it is planning to launch a new tablet-only paper later this year. The firm's first effort, The Daily, is still struggling to gain traction.
