Slitz is a Swedish men's magazine . The former music magazine appears in Sweden and Finland.

history

Slitz was created in 1980 from the merger of the music magazines Schlager and Ritz . Initially a music magazine itself, it was followed in the mid-1990s by an editorial reorientation towards a men's magazine. In 2005 the offshoot Slitz Man appeared for the first time , which increasingly focuses on fashion and clothing. In autumn 2007, the then editor-in-chief Niklas Natt och Dag announced a further realignment, according to which fewer pictures of naked women and more editorial content should be printed.

As a competitor to the magazines Café Magazine , Moore Magazine and the Swedish edition of the FHM , the magazine Slitz, which appears twelve times a year, has a circulation of around 30,000 copies.

Several models and other well-known women were pictured in Slitz. Among them are names like Victoria Silvstedt , Erika Johnson , Anine Bing or the soccer player Josefine Öqvist . A scandal broke out in June 2006 when meteorologist Tone Bekkestad from TV4 appeared in the magazine. As a result of the photographs, the broadcaster suspended them. However, it returned to the screens in September.
