It contains a lot of useful information, including about upcoming events, new shops and businesses, and photos of past local events, plus articles by local people.To say "its look and feel is inadequate at best" depends entirely on what you feel is "adequate", which is a matter of personal opinion (though I agree the layout could be improved in places).To imply (as you do in your subject header) that it is not "credible" just because you want a magazine with a different focus and contents is unfair.My reference to the Goose Green Fair was because Angela Burgess, who edits the magagazine, lives locally and contributes a lot to the local community. She does not just sit and haul in ads to put in SE22.

I've got no issue with that, I'm saying SE22 mag is pap!. It's structure and layout is rubbish and the photography is laughable. As you state you 'flinch' when walking past crappy local architecture, I flinch when a copy of SE22 drops on my doormat.

Alan Medic Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I'd like to know DD why you might even think ED needs a credible magazine? It doesn't.

unlurked Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I wouldn't mind seeing a new mag for the area. SE22 is boring and staid now, full of ads from the same companies etc. A new mag may force SE22 to re-vamp which I think is badly needed.

Alan Medic Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I'm not sure what you expect from SE22 unlurked. I don't often read it but when I do I see it provides information as to what's happening in ED which for some people may be very useful. Full of ads from the same companies.......jeez grow up. It's a free magazine which exists because of adverts. Those people who advertise choose to because they consider it worth it. I don't think I have ever heard of a complaint about any magazine because the adverts are always the same. This is ED not the whole of London.

I think you'll find a pretty high percentage of locals who would agree with me that East Dulwich deserves a 'more' credible mag than what we have at present.

MrBen Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Dog duck - I sense you are a frustrated creative. Someone who can spot mediocrity and who yearns and has a passion for better. That is a positive entrepreneurial quality. You just need to find the right channel for that. And personally, if you want to make any money, I don't think its an SE22 magazine replacement. Plenty other ideas out there though for those with your talents though surely?
