Masthead has brought one of the most popular pages from the print magazine online with the launch of Cover Critiques.

Each month, the covers of two competing Canadian magazines will be posted on Masthead with comments from at least three members of the industry. Then we open the floor to you, our dear readers and encourage you to comment on the covers and vote, using the poll on the Cover Critiques page on which cover you think is best.

The inaugural edition of Cover Critiques features the March issue of Fashion versus the March issue of Flare. First to critique are Spafax editorial director Arjun Basu, director of circulation and marketing at The Walrus Magazine, volunteer publisher of Shameless and Masthead blogger Stacey May Fowles, former editor of Chatelaine, author and speaker Rona Maynard and founder and editor in chief of http://iwantigot.geekgirl.com Anita Clarke.

Click on the ‘Cover Critiques’ bar on the left hand side of the page, or the cover images on the top right on the home page to view the covers, the critiques and to submit your comments.

Masthead welcomes your comments and suggestions, please contact us with ways to improve Cover Critiques, or if you would like to critique the next match-up.
