When I started Pulp Magazine my initial aim was to create something that I could be proud of and to showcase the talent of my university colleagues. Unfortunately Pulp Magazine only went to print once due to funding problems. At the University of Lincoln Student Union Media Awards 2008, Pulp Magazine won Best Feature for a travel feature on Italy so congratulations to the writers on that piece. I then left university and Pulp Magazine’s short yet hectic history was over with no-one able to take it on at the time.
Fast forward a few months…
A friend of mine at the university told me that student journalist, Tom Freeman, whom I met while doing Pulp Magazine, was looking at setting up his own magazine called ALPHA. I emailed Tom and the rest they say is history.
Tom’s plan for ALPHA is a male interest magazine that people don’t just read, they use. The magazine will contain features, sport, music, gaming, relationship advice and much more. He has created a website to run alongside the magazine so interaction with ALPHA’s readers is clearly important to him.
I would like to wish Tom and his team the best of luck with this new venture and I am sure he is a name to remember for the future.
