48 Hour Magazine | A Two-Day Experiment with Mob Publishing

Submitted by the Event Organizer

48 Hour Magazine is a raucous experiment in using new tools to erase media’s old limits. As the name suggests, we’re going to write, photograph, illustrate, design, edit, and ship a magazine in two days.

Here’s how it works: Issue Zero begins May 7th. The magazine theme will be released at Noon and you’ll have 24 hours to produce and submit your work. The producers will take the next 24 to snip, mash and gild it. The end results will be a shiny website and a beautiful glossy paper magazine, delivered right to your old-fashioned mailbox. We promise it will be insane.  Better yet, it might even work.

Writers and artists from some of your favorite publications like Rolling Stone, Wired, Dwell, Gizmodo, GOOD, Lapham’s Quarterly, HiLoBrow, Fray, Paleofuture, and The Rumpus have already signed up. Mainly because we promise that this thing will be fun. No long commitments. No pitches. No grinding editing process. You make good stuff fast; we publish it with other good stuff.

48 Hour Magazine – Issue Zero – Timeline

• May 7 Magazine theme announced & submissions open at 12 noon PST.
• May 8 Submissions close at 4 pm PST (yes, we gave you four extra hours).
• May 9 the magazine wraps, and ships to the printer at 12 noon PST.
• You’ll be able to purchase the print edition then at MagCloud or read it in it’s entirety here at 48hrmag.com

Photographers should send the highest resolution photo you’ve got. Writers can submit any length piece, but shorter is probably easier to fit. While technically you’ve got 28 hours, think of that as a maximum. The faster you get your work in, the better.
