Print.

The news media are those elements of the mass media that focus on delivering news to the general public. These include print media (newspapers and magazines), broadcast news (radio and television), and more recently the internet (online newspapers, news blogs, etc.)
Examples of newspaper and magazine media are The Sun, The Daily Mail, Heat, Ok! and Nutz. 

Heat magazine is a British entertainment magazine published by German company Bauer Media Group. As of 2004 it is one of the biggest selling magazines in the UK, with a regular circulation of over half a million. It's miz of celebrity news, gossip, beauty advice and fashion is primarily aimed at women, although not as directly as in other women's magazines. It also features movie and music reviews, TV listings and major celebrity interviews. Heat was launched in February, 1999 as a general interest magazine, at a cost of more than £4 million. It was not an immediate success with a circulation below 100,000. A series of revamps quickly repositioned the magazine as a less serious, more gossip-orientated magazine aimed at women, and circulation quickly grew.

Editors of Heat are Barry Mcllheney (1999 - 2000), Mark Frifth (2000 - 2008), Julian Linley (2008 - 2009), Sam Delaney (2009 - 2010), Lucie Cave (20ll - present.)
