Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

On July 9, 2002, American Media Operations, Inc. (the "Company") dismissed its
independent auditors, Arthur Andersen LLP ("Arthur Andersen") and engaged the
services of Deloitte and Touche LLP ("Deloitte & Touche") as its new independent
auditors for its fiscal year ending March 31, 2003. The Company's Board of
Directors authorized the dismissal of Arthur Andersen and the engagement of
Deloitte & Touche.

Arthur Andersen's reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements for
each of the fiscal years ended March 25, 2002 and March 26, 2001 did not contain
an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified
as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the fiscal years ended March 25, 2002 and March 26, 2001, and the
subsequent interim period through the date hereof, there were no disagreements
with Arthur Andersen on any matters of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which
disagreement, if not resolved to Arthur Andersen's satisfaction, would have
caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in
connection with its report on the Company's consolidated financial statements
for such years; and there were no reportable events as defined in Item
304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company has provided Arthur Andersen with a copy of the preceding
disclosures. Arthur Andersen has communicated to us that they have informed the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") that they are unable to provide
letters that corroborate or invalidate the statements in this disclosure, as
required by the SEC. The Company has been advised that Arthur Andersen no longer
has an infrastructure in place to process requests for such letters. As a
result, no such letter is provided with this Form 8-K.

During the two most recent fiscal years ended March 25, 2002 and March 26, 2001
and the subsequent interim period through July 9, 2002, the Company did not
consult with Deloitte & Touche regarding any of the matters or events set forth
in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.



                                   SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, the
registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereto duly authorized.
