The Red Bulletin is an international men’s active lifestyle magazine published monthly in print and digital versions by the Salzburg-based global media company Red Bull Media House.[1] Covering sports, culture and lifestyle, the magazine offers a range of globally relevant content as well as national content featuring localized interests.[2] The journalistic approach of The Red Bulletin underscores visual storytelling, putting an emphasis on exclusive photography and illustration as well as articles, features, and interviews. Dedicated to conveying unique, real-life stories that provide genuine value as well as entertainment, the publishing strategy involves using top writers and photographers to capture crucial moments as they happen, helping readers to discover new facets of compelling destinations, personalities, trendsetters and innovators.
