RadarOnline is an American online publication. It started as a magazine first printed in 2003 as a test issue, relaunched twice in 2005 and 2006, and ceased publication in 2008. The magazine published articles on entertainment, fashion, politics, and human interest. Its founder and editor-in-chief was Maer Roshan, an editor who previously worked at Interview magazine, New York Magazine, The New York Times, and Talk magazine.
At the end of October 2008, the Radar property was purchased by American Media, Inc.[2] and began an online-only run.
RadarOnline.com was relaunched in March 2009 with a re-branding, focusing on celebrity gossip, fashion and pop culture.
[edit] Notable coverage
The site was brought into the spotlight[3] in July 2010 with the release of a series[4] of recorded phone conversations allegedly between Mel Gibson and his girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva.[5]
