Mayday, Mayday
We know you’re not all in the UK, but if you are and you fancy a trip to the North of England… The Grub Street Journal is inviting you to an afternoon of magazine chat in The Snow Goose, one of the quirkiest pubs in Cheshire.
Across the afternoon, we'll be interviewing:
Terri White, Journalist and Author
Terri was the editor-in-chief of movie magazine Empire, but gave up the ‘best job in magazines’ two years ago. Now an author, columnist and podcaster she’ll be sharing her experiences of the good, the bad and the ugly in magazines.
Paul McNamee, The Big Issue
Paul is the editor of The Big Issue, the UK's number one street paper, giving people experiencing homelessness a hand up, not a hand. He’ll be telling us why a print magazine is a must-have on the march against homelessness.Kate & Jack Lennie, We Are Makers
Kate and Jack have been publishing we are makers for five years, moving to a quarterly frequency in 2023. They’ll be telling us how adding digital content to their print offering has supercharged their indie magazine for artisan makers.Roy Rowlands, Cognitive Publishing
Roy is publishing and events director of a B2B business that serves decision-makers speinding in excess of £1 trillion per year. He’ll be speaking about taking the magazine company his dad started more than 20 years ago online.
Grab a pint or a diet coke, and join this fine group of magazine people on May Day as we ask them how they’ve survived and thrived in this messed-up modern media landscape.
