'''''K-Zone''''' (commonly abbreviated as '''''KZ''''' or '''''K-Z''''') is a magazine in [[Australia]], [[New Zealand]], [[The Philippines]] and [[Malaysia]]. It is aimed at children aged 8–16. It is published by [[Pacific Magazines]] and [[Summit Media]] in the Philippines.

==Background==
The magazine is run by Daniel Findlay, Editor. ''K-Zone'' has been published since 2000.

Each month, K-Zone features regular sections: Comics, Prank Patrol, GameZone, Jokes, Big Screen and more. The magazine also features the latest in music, TV, movies, books and DVD's. There are also temporary categories for special events, such as the [[Olympic Games]], [[Australian Idol]], Celebrity Idols, etc. In April 2005, K-Zone started the section 'GameZone. It contains reviews, news and cheats about videogames. Also, all of the competitions in ''K-Zone'' have a fair chance of play, with little or no competitions relying solely upon luck itself. In the October 2006 issue the magazine changed its style and logo. This also occurred in the January 2007 issue of the Philippine edition.

''K-Zone'''s sister magazine is ''[[Total Girl]]'', both sharing similarities such as competitions and attached freebies.

== Books ==

The K-Zone staffs also publishes books that are also for ages 7+ and each of them are titled as:

'''ALMANAC Books''' - is a book that contains facts. Some Filipinos complained about the book because of the pages are easily teared of the book.

'''BOREDOM BUSTERS Books''' - is a book that contains activities that readers can do.

== Philippine Edition ==
The [[Philippines|Philippine]] edition of K-Zone was first released in October 2002 and is published by ''[[Summit Media]]''.

The content of the Philippine Edition is almost remarkably the same with the Australian version but more on [[Video game|gaming]], [[anime]], international and local celebrities. Changes will show upon every issue collected by the collector.

In mid-July 2004, K-Zone Philippines launched a forum called [https://www.kzone.com.ph/khq/ ''K-Zone Headquarters'' (KHQ for short)], an [[online forum]] for readers of the magazine. The forum is used to discuss the content for every issue of the magazine and contribute various content for the magazine.

As of May 8, 2010, KHQ experience database error, as well as other website forums from ''[[Summit Media]]''. However, no word was heard from the K-Zone staff about what date it will be fixed. But the problem was fixed on May 11, 2010 as of the afternoon.

* '''Your Zone''' – Where the readers can send drawings, tweets, text message, and also online messages.

Redirect to:

  • To a list entry: This is a redirect to a list in which the subject is an entry.
    • For redirects from a topic to a related list and not to an entry on that list, use {{R from list topic}} instead.
  • With possibilities: This is a redirect from a title that potentially could be expanded into a new article or other type of associated page such as a new template. The topic described by this title may be more detailed than is currently provided on the target page or in a section of that page.
    • When the target page becomes too large, or for any reason a new page would be an improvement, this redirect may be replaced with an article, template or other project page that is carved out of the target page. See also {{R to section}} and use together with this rcat when appropriate.
    • If the topic of the redirect is not susceptible to expansion, then use other rcats such as {{R to section}} or {{R to list entry}} when appropriate.
    • Since a new page may be created, links to this redirect should not be replaced with a direct link to the target page. To make redirects to this page, use {{R avoided double redirect}}.
    • {{R printworthy}} should be used together with this template when applied to a redirect in mainspace.
    • When used on a template redirect, it will automatically populate Category:Template redirects with possibilities.
