Starting a Print Magazine… in 2023?!

Big-name glossy magazines still attract plenty of attention, even if newsstand numbers are dwindling. The truth is, many people engage with a magazine brand despite rarely/never picking up a print copy. As I’ve said before, I personally really enjoy settling down with a print magazine one after a day staring at a screen. The world of magazines goes beyond the mega-brands though. There are a plethora of beautifully produced independent titles that focus on all manner of subjects and serve dedicated readerships. However, it is a tough business and many are fighting to survive.Peter Houston and his partner Joanna are taking their love for the indie magazine world one step further and launching their own title - Grub Street Journal. It will be aimed at “people who make magazines”. Peter joins the show this week to explain why on Earth they are starting a print publication in 2023. * Media Voices* Magazine Diaries* Grub Street Journal* Peter Houston on Twitter* Charlotte Henry on TwitterListen wherever you get your podcasts.
