The power of comics in The Nib magazine
Matt Bors is editor and founder of The Nib, the magazine that uses comics to tell stories about some of the big, serious issues facing the world. The magazine launched online first, as one of the sites that were part of Medium in its early days, and in this conversation he explains how that relationship came to an end, and how he switched to working with First Look Media, another company with lots of money to spend, and how that also came to an end as their priorities shifted.
These days Matt is running the whole thing entirely independently on what he calls a “sane business model”, funded by his readers, and I was really interested to hear his thoughts on the experience of working with those big, wealthy partners, compared to the business he runs today.
We have several issues of The Nib available to buy in the Stack shop, so if this conversation leaves you wanting to know more, go take a look at those. And of course if you follow us via Soundcloud or Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts we’ll be able to deliver our conversations with independent makers straight to you as soon as they’re ready.
