At a time when magazines are disappearing from newsstands 8020 has two titles and plans to launch several more in the next few years.
The first, JPG, is an artsy bimonthly photography magazine filled with a selection of digital-camera images that are submitted each month, categorized under different themes.
A second title, Everywhere, was launched late last year. It is a travel magazine that uses reader submissions to tell quirky stories about a particular place. Issue number two, which "searches for the soul of Los Angeles" and "explore[s] the crossroads of historic Turkey," hit shelves last week at Barnes & Noble and Borders Books.
Virtually anyone can submit original content—photos to JPG and text ranging from captions to full-length stories to Everywhere. Once it's uploaded, visitors to the magazines' respective Web sites (jpgmag.com and everywheremag.com) vote on each submission.
Editors then decide which of the most popular submissions make it into the print version of the magazine. Contributors who are published in the print edition get $100 and a free annual subscription, valued at $24.99.
