Some sad news in this morning’s email, street zine Is Not Magazine is closing up shop.
The magazine, published as a poster and plastered up on walls across Melbourne since April 2005, and in more recent times, Sydney, is no more.
We walked innocently into the poster-magazine business, which is probably why Is Not Magazine has lasted this long. Let’s face it - seasoned publishers would never have taken on a project so difficult to explain, let alone distribute, and whose lack of advertising revenue necessitated a cruel apprenticeship in events management. We’re chuffed that so many people across Australia and the world have got excited about what we thought was a small, uniquely Melburnian publication.
I profiled Is Not Magazine at OnVoiceOver a couple of years ago.
