''Tatler'' is a British glossy magazine published by Condé Nast Publications focusing on fashion and lifestyle, as well as coverage of high society and politics. The magazine is targeted towards the British upper-middle class and members of the aristocratic upper class, and those interested in society events, and its readership is the wealthiest of all Condé Nast's publications.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://digital-assets.condenast.co.uk.s3.amazonaws.com/static/condenast/Tatler-Mediapack-2013-4.pdf )〕 It was founded in 1901 by Clement Shorter. ==History== ''Tatler'' was introduced on 3 July 1901 by Clement Shorter, publisher of ''The Sphere''. It was named after the original literary and society journal founded by Richard Steele in 1709. For some time a weekly publication, it had a subtitle varying on "an illustrated journal of society and the drama". It contained news and pictures of high society balls, charity events, race meetings, shooting parties, fashion and gossip, with cartoons by "The Tout" and H. M. Bateman. In 1940, it absorbed ''The Bystander'', creating a publication called ''The Tatler and Bystander''.〔http://www.allposters.co.uk/-sp/Tatler-Front-Cover-Ginger-Rogers-Posters_i6835986_.htm (Posters Tatler and Bystander Front Cover )〕 In 1961, Illustrated Newspapers, which published ''Tatler'', ''The Sphere'', and ''The Illustrated London News'', was bought by Roy Thomson.〔 〕 In 1965, ''Tatler'' was rebranded ''London Life''.〔 〕〔 〕 In 1968, it was bought by Guy Wayte's Illustrated County Magazine group and the ''Tatler'' name restored.〔 〕 Wayte's group had a number of county magazines in the style of ''Tatler'', each of which mixed the same syndicated content with county-specific local content.〔 Wayte, "a moustachioed playboy of a conman"〔 〕 was convicted of fraud in 1980 for inflating the ''Tatlers circulation figures from 15,000 to 49,000.〔 〕 The magazine was sold and relaunched as a monthly magazine in 1977, called ''Tatler & Bystander'' until 1982.〔 Tina Brown (editor 1979–83), created a vibrant and youthful ''Tatler'' and is credited with putting the edge, the irony and the wit back into what was then an almost moribund social title. She referred to it as an upper-class comic and by increasing its influence and circulation made it an interesting enough operation for the then owner, Gary Bogard, to sell to the Publishers Condé Nast. Brown subsequently transferred to New York to another Condé Nast title, ''Vanity Fair''. After several later editors and a looming recession and the magazine was once again ailing, and Jane Procter was brought in to re-invent the title for the 1990s. The circulation rose to over 90,000, a figure which was exceeded five years later by Geordie Greig. The magazine created various supplements including The Travel and Restaurant Guides, the often referred to and closely watched Most Invited and The Little Black Book lists, as well as various parties. Kate Reardon became editor in 2011. She was previously a fashion assistant on American ''Vogue'' and then, aged 21, became the youngest ever fashion director of ''Tatler''. Under Reardon's directorship, ''Tatler'' has retained its position as having the wealthiest audience of Condé Nast's magazines, exceeding an average of $175,000 in 2013.〔 In 2014, ''Tatler'' covered pop artist Philip Colbert's Scottish referendum fashion protest in Dover Street, London alongside Jean Pigozzi and Nimrod Kamer. An IRN BRU dress was on display.() In November 2014 the BBC began to broadcast a 3-part fly-on-the-wall documentary television series, titled ''Posh People: Inside Tatler'', featuring the British editorial team going about their various jobs. 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「Tatler」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
