Summit Publishing Co., Inc., doing business as Summit Media, is a digital lifestyle network and former magazine publishing company in the Philippines. It has 12 media brands attracting around 33 million monthly unique visitors and approximately 35 million social media followers.[1] It began as a consumer magazine publisher in June 1995, with Preview as its first magazine title.[2] It turned into a publication conglomerate which published several lifestyle magazines titles, including Candy for young Filipino girls and Yes!, a Philippine entertainment magazine.

The company is privately owned by Lisa Gokongwei-Cheng, the daughter of Filipino businessman John Gokongwei. It has expanded to publishing specialized magazines for companies and occasions in the Philippines, and also started publishing short books designed for Filipino readers.

Its different magazine titles are printed to copies that run over 100,000. It has been cited in Philippine Business magazine[4] and Eventsite.[5]

On April 11, 2018, Summit Media announced the impending closure of the last six printed magazines namely, Cosmopolitan, FHM, Preview, Top Gear, Town and Country (all relegated to their online portals) and Yes!
