Book and Magazine Censorship: P

 

 

 

 

Picture Premium

Published by ACP Magazines / Australia

THE PICTURE PREMIUM is a more explicit monthly offshoot of PICTURE magazine.

Two versions of THE PICTURE PREMIUM are produced. The aim is to get an Unrestricted rating for one, and a Category 1 rating for the other. From time to time, the Unrestricted issue is awarded a Category 1, and the Category 1 issue awarded a Category 2. The publisher then modifies the proof-prints, and resubmits until Unrestricted and Category 1 ratings are achieved. Only one issue has ever been banned.
