Thalia’s Magazine Premieres.

A joint venture between AMI in partnership with former Sony Music Chairman Thomas D. Mottola and Thalia Sodi, the launch of Thalia is AMI’s third high profile magazine focused on the Hispanic audience, joining “Mira,” and “Shape En Espanol.” It will initially be published as three AMI Specials.

“This is going to be a magazine especially for Latina girls,” said Thalia in commenting on the magazine. “It’s going to have an inspirational, positive, you can do everything, live it well attitude,” she concluded. Thalia will contain a mixture of health, beauty, fashion and spiritual tips as well as celebrity interviews and aspirational stories.

“As Oprah made her magazine one of the best sellers in the industry, we feel Thalia has the same strong appeal with her very loyal fan base and is poised to become a major presence in the publishing world. We’re in a perfect position to use her visibility and popularity to enhance the unique relationship she has with her fans,” said AMI’s Pecker.

“AMI has demonstrated its expertise in reaching the Hispanic audience with its other magazines,” said Sue Yein Butcher, who oversees the company’s Spanish language magazines. “Thalia expands that base with a magazine that’s perfect for today’s young Hispanic reader who previously didn’t have a publication focused on their interests.”
