''HK Magazine'' is a free English language city-living magazine. It is a Hong Kong-based weekly published by HK Magazine Media Group. Premiering in 1991, it targets young metropolitans. It offers discussions on social issues as well as entertainment listings. New issues are distributed every Friday; piles of copies are a common sight. The 1000th issue was published in 2013. ==History== ''HK Magazine'' was founded by best friends Greg Duncan, Stephen Freeman and Gretchen Worth. In 1989, considering Hong Kong a suitable place to start a magazine, they decided to establish an English-language weekly publication. The first issue, called ''HK: the indispensable Hong Kong Guide'', was published in June 1991 by the local private company Asia City Publishing Limited—as it was formerly known.〔HK staff (29 Sep 2011). "(20 Years, Covered )". ''HK Magazine''. Retrieved 22 June 2014.〕 It had 24 pages and claimed a circulation of 15,000. It continued to publish on a monthly schedule until November 1992, when because of the ambiguity of the name and the change of the publisher's schedule, the magazine was renamed ''HK Magazine'', and switched to a bi-weekly schedule for the next three years. Later in September 1995, it became a weekly magazine. In 2013, it was reported that Asia City Media Group had sold its Hong Kong business, including HK Magazine and other titles to South China Morning Post for a consideration of HK$13 million. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HK Magazine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
