Received this week

Three very different independent magazines turned up in the post over the past few days, highlighting the creativity and variety available away from the mainstream...

Issue five of Ein Magazin uber Orte is all about Crime Scenes. Another idiosyncratic collection of imagery ranging from car crashes and battlefields to the sites of infamous news stories (eg the hotel where Martin Luther King died).

Each issue of movie magazine Little White Lies always focuses on a single upcoming movie. The latest issue, received as this month’s Stack offering, is the first to be centred on a major movie release rather than an independent one, building the feature well around JJ Abram’s new take on Star Trek.

Having covered America and Iraq, the third issue of Dispatches examines Russia. This small-format, book-like publication works with photographers and writers who really know their subject inside-out, providing real insight behind the news.
