History

Summit Media began as a consumer magazine publisher in June 1995, with Preview as its first magazine title.^[1] It turned into a publication conglomerate which published several lifestyle magazine titles, including Candy for young Filipino girls and Yes!, a Philippine entertainment magazine. The company later exited the print magazine business in 2018 to focus primarily on its digital media properties, most of which were taken from their print counterparts.^[2] Summit Media also publishes short books designed for Filipino readers.
