Example Magazine is the online representation of the creative generation and scene in Manchester. http://www.examplemagazine.com
Submitted by Example_Magazine.
Example Magazine, founded for just over £10 in January 2009 set out to be the online representation of a creative generation and underground scene which is currently thriving in Manchester. Since its launch Examples popularity has exploded. Each month we bring the city of Manchester exclusive free mixes from homegrown artists, In depth interviews with local talent, exciting features on creative projects, regular uploads of photographs from a whole host of underground club nights and from time to time national events such as Creamfields Festival and of course regular competitions giving readers the chance to win limited edition vinyls, event tickets and more. This month saw the launch of Example TV and a fortnightly podcast adding an even more engaging and exciting dimension to our content. Example's contributors are all young people who want experience in the media, something which can be very hard to get in these times. Example gives them the chance to get that experience in a professional and engaging way. Whilst also allowing them the freedom to express themselves creatively, and on top of all have it viewed by hundreds of people. Example was set up on no money and has progressed amazingly so far. However with the help of Umbro Industries backing we could invest in equipment such as video cameras, Digital SLR's, Computer Equipment such as Laptops, a new website and much much more. Equipment which would not only help us improve our content and reach a wider audience but also give our volunteers the chance to work with equipment that many young people cannot afford. We would also be able to afford to send some volunteers further afield to cover festivals, interview artists etc. Which would not only make our content even more thrilling but make the experience of volunteering for Example Magazine so much more compelling to budding media workers.
big up example nice easy to use site and as someone else mentioned, for someone so young to be behind this its inspiring

Quality site, shows real initiative in it's own field of music and is a first port of call for anyone wanting to find out what's current on the Manchester scene. Great opportunity for young people to get involved in writing, photography, film-making etc.

Offering experience to people interested in the media is great but there are so many other internet sites already out there offering the coverage of festivals, mixes from local talent and competitions. So i am finding it hard to see an original idea here?

The most exciting website to come out of the UK.

This is one of the best ideas I've seen in recent times. A massive collaboration among a scene that is thriving (Manchester) when most attention, focus and funding is London based. Examplemag.co.uk
