Next magazine's 1995 cover featured New Zealand's favourite news presenter and 'Mother of the Nation', Judy Bailey. Created as a lifestyle magazine for women in the ‘next’ stage after young adulthood, Next covered health, parenting, and career issues, along with fashion, style and beauty trends, from 1991 until it ceased publication in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
