As a ‘magazine for people who make magazines’, Grub Street Journal (not to be confused with its 18th century namesake) is dedicated to exploring the ups and downs of the magazine world, hearing firsthand from those in the thick of it. Publisher Peter Houston is a long-term observer of the editorial world.
This ‘Next Generations’ issue focuses on finding and engaging the magazine readers, leaders and makers of the future. To do so, they've roped in a couple of Gen Z's—the issue opens with BA Journalism student Alice Baldan chatting to our very own (glowing) Danielle Mustarde, while GSJ publisher Peter Houston gets asked the tough magazine-shaped questions by granddaughter Robin. Plus, insights on the magazine industry from students and educators alike, the role of TikTok, a spotlight on magCulture favourite (and youth-friendly) The Paper and a fun little magazine-themed game of snakes and ladders.
