hey guys
just picked up my first copy of OUTsource...
having worked overseas in the gay publication trade b4, i find the content pretty damn good....gr8 size of magazine, gr8 quality paper, plenty of information, and not some cheap looking publication that has more ads than content..
clearly all publishers will have a difficult time introducing a new mag to a city like ours, but good on them for having the balls to give it a go.
i was always dissillusioned by another publication who seemed more interested in making bucks from advertising, than giving us information, and foto content of events was only considered if the venue was advertising...i have a good example of that if anyone cares to ask me...
if u haven't, give OUTsource a go for a few more issues before u pass judgement, and remember that competition is only going to benefit us, the reader....

I do have difficulty finding where OUTsource is distributed in the city but thankfully they feature the magazine on their website. So I have been able to see them :)
Thanks for putting OUTsource on the web so I can see them!

And... then there were two - again.

My only comment about the demise of OUTsource is - why were the advertizers not told that this magazine was being closed? Will the advertizers who paid in advance be refunded their money or does the deafening silence bode ill?

Shame about its passing....does it prove Brisbane is not grown up enough for a quality, literate gay publication? (Not that there is anything wrong with a more immediate, newsy, on the ground publication either.)
