History of Ownership
attitude started publication in 1994 as part of the Northern and Shell Group owned by Richard Desmond. In 2004 it was sold to Remnant Media. Since then the magazine has been briefly in the ownership of Giant Clipper and Attitude Publications Ltd before Trojan Publishing Ltd (which also owns Fresh, Woman's Fitness and What Diesel?) purchased the "intellectual property rights" for attitude in April 2008. However all of the magazine's debts dating prior to issue 165 remain the responsibility of the previous publisher - Attitude Publications Ltd. The magazine had difficulties with both publishing and distribution in 2007 and failed to appear on the news-stands in both January and July that year.
After financial trouble, owners created Vitality Publishing to own Attitude, and sold the company to private investors. The current owner is listed as Attitude Media Ltd, although this appears to be linked to Vitality Publishing as the attitude website links to Vitality's terms and conditions.

“They had their fortunes to make, everything to gain and nothing to lose. They were schooled in and anxious for debates; forcible in argument; reckless and brilliant. For them it was but a short and natural step from swaying juries in courtroom battles over the ownership of land to swaying constituents in contests for office. For the lawyer, oratory was the escalator that could lift a political candidate to higher ground.”
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
