Frith: taken Heat to new heights
Heat editor Mark Frith has scooped the PPA consumer magazine editor of the year award for the second year running. Heat was also named consumer magazine of the year.
"Brilliantly clean and on the button," was how the judges summed up Heat. "Everyone’s talking about it; it’s a must-have magazine. There is a buzz about it and you have to put that down to the editor," they said.
