A NEW monthly, digital ‘tabloid magazine’ for Glasgow – with ambitions to soon go weekly and perhaps as a print product – has been launched.
Glasgow Scooped is the brainchild of blogger and magazine publisher, James Forrest; photojournalist and also magazine publisher, Brian Anderson; and magazine writer and blogger, Sean Thomas Graham.
Says Forrest: “It was the 1,475 downloads of one of the magazines I publish, Enjoy The Silence?, which made us start thinking of Glasgow Scooped, which would have the content of all the blogs and magazines we do folded into it.
“Glasgow is the best city in the world, and we think it deserves the best magazine in the world.”
It is available here in any of three digital formats.
