ERNEST JOURNAL WINS LAUNCH OF THE YEAR AT THE DIGITAL MAGAZINE AWARDS 2014
We're delighted to announce that Ernest Journal scooped Launch of the Year at the Digital Magazine Awards 2014. Here's what the judges had to say...
“Ernest Journal is a brilliant example of why we need independent publishers innovating in the digital magazine market. There is no arguing with the quality of their editorial and their design, and they have a genuine relationship with their audience that goes well past the ‘ABC1 aspirational urbanisa’ tripe that bigger magazines put on their rate cards. Ernest Journal deserves to be lauded and backed by the industry. Buy a copy, digitally or in print, and see if you disagree.”
“Ernest Journal on iPad is a wonderfully-crafted digital publication - sublime typography, an elegant user experience - and best of all, engaging content beautifully illustrated with striking imagery. Can’t wait for more from the team... ”
“I’m delighted that The Ernest Journal won the DMA’s launch of the year; it’s rare to find a new magazine working so well across print and digital. I really think they’ve struck the perfect balance with monthly iPad and bi-annual print editions. Much bigger outfits can learn a thing or two from Ernest.”
