A grassroots media organisation focussing on ‘the niche details of modern warfare and under-reported conflict’, Popular Front produces documentaries, a podcast and now, a magazine.
After runaway success with their first issue, the second edition continues their style of unapologetic conflict journalism with a close look at resisting a military coup in Myanmar, a recent history of mail bombings, photos from the 2023 Paris suburb revolt, and much more.
On the magazine's mission, editor-in-chief Jake Hanrahan writes: ‘This is war reporting without the frills and elitism often associated with conventional media. We document the highs and lows of a world on fire without watering it down or pushing an agenda. We're honest about who we are: misfits, anoraks, and transients. We don't like authoritarianism, but we're not dogmatic politicos.’
