In the first half of 2015, The Week saw an average weekly circulation of 202, 842 according to ABC.

The weekly circulation figure for The Week has increased every six months since the year 2000, according to ABC.

It is no surprise, then, that Dennis Publishing took the opportunity to publish a children's edition of the popular magazine.

The first edition of The Week Junior, which was released last week, will cost 99p. Following the second issue, the price will rise to £1.99.

Children's magazines were among the best performing magazine groups in the first half of 2015, according to ABC.
