With OutinPerth's shift towards online content, how relevant is the print edition?
What a great question!
You would expect that with more content being online, and our entire print edition being online - (both as a PDF flipbook and each story being posted on the website) - that there would be be less demand for the print edition.
We're finding the complete opposite is occurring, we're still printing 10,000 copies of OUTinPerth each month. No other LGBTIQ magazine in Australia prints as many copies for a single city distribution.
I don't think newspapers and magazine will ever disappear. Nothing quite beats sitting down with magazine and a cup of coffee.
Over the last decade there have been big changes in the distribution of magazines like OUTinPerth, previously they were found predominately in queer venues, today we're found in tons of cafes, supermarkets and shops.
