#3 The Walking Dead Issue

"WHY WON'T PRINT JUST LIE DOWN AND DIE?"

In the Walking Dead issue, we want to know: What is stopping print being sucked down into an earthy grave?

Speaking to industry insiders, we discovered less zombie print, more a renewed focus on making printed publications work as a valuable part of the modern media mix.

We also tackle the scary stories around paper’s environmental impact, challenge the ‘go green, go digital’ fairytales told to undermine print’s future, and look at the crossover between printed publications and art projects.

Elsewhere in the issue we celebrate the art and science of the magazine flatplan, spotlight the ‘bundle of queer joy’ that is LGBTQ+ title Somewhere: For Us, ask if sales people are just money monkeys, and spill some ink over the tattooed citizens of magazine land.
