Hers: Women's News Magazine is owned by KDR Publishing, LLC, an independently owned and operated publishing company. The magazine is headquartered in Willow Springs, Mo., and is available only online. The print edition of the magazine was discontinued in August of 2008, after publishing for nearly eight years.

Hers is a news e-magazine for women between the ages of 25 to 64. Studies show that less than 20 percent of traditional news coverage uses women as references or subjects for stories, even though women make up 52 percent of the country's population. Traditional women's magazines, on the other hand, often gloss over issues of importance or require readers to purchase multiple magazines to come up with any substance on a variety of topics, such as women in the workplace, financial management or child care and parenting issues.

Hers is doing things differently by using a traditional news approach founded on objectivity to cover topics that studies show are important to women, yet not covered adequately by other print media. Topics covered regularly in Hers include:

• Women in business
• Education
• Marriage and children
• Wages and employment
• Local, state and national politics as related to women
• Parenting and family relationships
• Financial management
• Health and beauty

The basic concept for Hers is simple: Real news for real women.
