German term or phrase: Gefäß
All,

I am translating a presentation (to shareholders) on the product range of a large media/multimedi publishing house.
On one slide, key features of one particular publication are listed:
It reads:
- Eigenständige Monatszeitschrift mit 10 Ausgaben pro Jahr
- 123,456 LeserInnen, 1.2% Reichweite
- informiert über grünen Lifestyle
- attraktive gestaltete Reportagen
- News zu aktuellen, umweltpolitschen Fragen
- Nutzwertorientierte ***Gefäße*** zu Konsum, Freizeit und Gesundheit


Any suggestions?
Thank you.
