Practice | Lecture 1 – Publishing Multiplatform

Alec Dudson

Intern → diversity in the creative industries are vital
Want everyone to have access to the creative industries and to have a career
If only wealthy people can afford creative careers we will loose the diversity and become unbalanced and based on a capitalist society
Originally came into the world as an independent print magazine

Origin story

Hangups on building a career → by A-levels you already knew what you wanted to do → if you went to university you would be set up with a career
That didn’t seem to be the case anymore
Applied for internships with independent magazines
Moved to London after that for an internship with Boat magazine
Liked telling stories
Came back from Greece with photos, stories, interesting content → seeing how it was pieced together for the issue
Couldn’t keep working unpaid forever, decided to start his own magazine
Internships was a theme he kept coming back to
