Paper Giants: Magazine Wars is a 2013 Australian two-part television miniseries about "golden years" of the glossy women's magazines and the battle to have the number one selling publication in Australia. The mini series is a sequel to the 2011 mini series Paper Giants: The Birth of Cleo.
Plot
Paper Giants: Magazine Wars is the story of the battle between Nene King (Mandy McElhinney) editor of Woman's Day and Dulcie Boling (Rachel Griffiths) editor of New Idea, from the rival Packer and Murdoch empires, who "battled" to make their publication the number one seller in Australia. It charts the period from 1987 to 1997 with the rise of cheque-book journalism, the age of celebrity power, paparazzi, media moguls and the two remarkable women who helped make them.
Critical reception
Occasional writer for The Guardian Doug Anderson reported that the miniseries was an "absorbing and frequently rewarding drama".
