Was the magazine "Marie Claire", or "Shape" published first?
Shape (magazine) Shape is a monthly English language fitness magazine started by Weider Publications in 1981, founded by Christine MacIntyre (a pioneer in women's free weight fitness) and became the number one women's fitness magazine. At that time, Weider Enterprises consisted primarily of the bodybuilding magazine "Muscle & Fitness". Joe Weider and Christine MacIntyre had differing views of how to present "Shape", Weider endorsing a less journalistic and more commercial approach to articles, MacIntyre endorsing a more academic, doctor-based magazine. Weider also endorsed a sexier approach to editorial while MacIntyre endorsed a healthier look for women, eschewing sexiness in the models and the copy. MacIntyre largely won that battle, editing a magazine that required that every byline have an advanced medical degree, that cover models should look healthy rather than sexy, and that sexist language be avoided. Christine MacIntyre was the editor-in-chief until her death in 1988. Tara Kraft is the current editor-in-chief. "Shape" found a readership based on that formula.
Quo (magazine) Quo is a monthly Spanish-language pop-science magazine that informs about science through thinking and entertainment. It contains articles pertaining to health, sex, ecology, technology, nutrition, psychology and human life. Its content has the capability to answer all the basic doubts a person might have about the world they live in. The magazine was created in Spain by the Hachette Filipacchi publisher. It was released in Spain in 1995. Its first director was Oscar Becerra and the art director was Pancho Guijarro. Aside from Becerra and Guijarro, Juan Caño, vice president editor of Hachette, was highly involved in the creative development of the publication. A few months later Grupo Zeta released CNR in Spain, a magazine whose similarities to Quo were extraordinary. "Hearst Magazines" bought Hachette Filipacchi's Spanish magazines in 2011.
