French term or phrase: presse magazine
Could anyone suggest something better than "news magazines", which is too restrictive in my context ?
Thank you.

glossies OR glossy press


Explanation:
magazines (as distinct from newspapers) are frequently referred to as 'the glossies' — however, that is rather 'in' jargon, and I'm not sure if it would fit your register (which you have failed to explain).

Here are a few examples:

You might also consider 'the glossy press', though that doesn't get a convincing number of hits on Google.

You might also go for 'periodicals (press)' — that would certainly embrace a wide variety of 'magazines', more usually monthly than the 'daily' or 'weekly' press (i.e. ordinary newspapers).

Whatever, I certainly endorse your decision not to include 'news' — afer all, that is the speciality of 'newspapers', and in general, magazines are not noted first and foremost for their 'news' content.

agree  Nora Mahony: I'd go for 'glossies'.
4 mins
  -> Thanks, Nora!
disagree  philgoddard: Although we have no context, this clearly refers to *all* magazines. Wordreference.com says "magazines illustrés de luxe" for glossies.//Not all magazines are glossies - take The Economist or Newsweek, for example.
3 hrs
  -> Thanks, Phil! I don't always agree with what (the community like us on) Wordreference says; in general, 'glossies' is often used more loosely to refer to anything that isn't on newsprint (apart, perhaps, from the 'colour supplements')
agree  rkillings: Although "magazine press" is not entirely unknown in native English (more common in translatorese).
