K-Zone turns 10
K-Zone is the biggest and most popular kids' magazine in the Philippines published by Summit Media. It caters to kids and young adults ages 8 to 16. They are called the K-Zoners who love bright, colorful and entertaining reads.
KZ as it's commonly abbreviated, was first released in October 2002. It has Australian, New Zealand and Malaysian versions but the content of Philippine Edition is almost the same though it's more on gaming, anime, international and local celebrities.
Almost every page is loaded with kids' stuff like newest cartoons, movies, latest gadgets, crafts, video games, wrestling, puzzles, comics, jokes and a lot of exciting but friendly and knowledgeable articles. K-Zoners love it because it kills their boredom, it makes them laugh and stimulates their sense of being young and free.
Let's GO inside the K-Zone world:
- Your Zone – Where the readers can send drawings, tweets, text message, and also online messages.Ultimate Showdown – Where readers or staff play a game or a challenge.
- Calendar – Where events, and birthday of celebrities and also the readers.
- KNN – A page of information relating places, events and other stuff.
- The Heat List – A top ten hits after or before the monthly issue.
- Tune in – contains episodes of cartoons, new release of cd albums, new release DVDs and new release book.
My son, Kurt and my niece Dave got this unexpected opportunity to be included in the Kid On The Street page of KZ, October 2012 issue in which K-Zone happens to celebrate its 10th year.
Congrats to your son and niece. I've seen the magazine a few times and its got really nice content for kids.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that there are kid's magazine now, though I'm no longer a fan of buying magazines, I had a stage in my life where I save my allowance so I can buy Candy mag. :D
ReplyDeleteI remember buying slash collecting(the most appropriate maybe) Kzone way back in my elementary years, wow 10 years now.. and that was 10 years ago, all the stuff on the mag we4re very helpful, HP days.
ReplyDeleteNostalgic on the good old days of childhood.
Dati ,Niknok lang ang kinalakihan ng mga anak ko. Good to hear that Kids magazine still roams the market. Seems fully-loaded with stuff kids will surely love ang magazine. Soon, I will have my apo grab one copy.
ReplyDeleteIt's also nice that they let kids be part of the magazine as kids would appreciate the contents better if they are involved.
ReplyDeleteOh, nice mag for kids. My daughter also likes buying mags but nor for reading but for the toy that comes with it. Maybe next time I'll give in to her requests when she knows to appreciate reading one. For now, I prefer her to read fairy tale books.
ReplyDeleteWow, congratz to your son Kurt and niece Dave. We also wish to be feature in a magazine even for kids, Joke.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great having a good read magazine for kids where they don't only read but participate as well. Congrats to your kid and niece =)
