ISSUES OLD! Editor/publisher Mark Simpson looks back…
100
When we launched By The Dart magazine in March 2008, a prominent local hotelier remarked that perhaps, like previous magazines for Dartmouth, we wouldn’t be around for too long. We thought that was rather a pessimistic view at the time but we didn’t expect that we’d stay the course and reach the 100th issue milestone! 100 issues represents approximately
14,000 advertisements sold, over 6,000 pages of editorial about Dartmouth, its people and businesses with over 500,000 individual copies printed, of which a significant number still sit in local homes – only last month, we were contacted by a reader saying he had collected over 70 issues that only now was he putting into recycling as he was soon moving from the town – see picture. We have also been busy publishing other magazines and guides - we have published 33 issues of our sister magazine The Post (for Kingsbridge), 9 editions of the annual By The Dart Directory, 9 editions of the annual Visitor Map, 2 editions of the annual Official
Dartmouth Visitor Guide, 3 editions of the annual Dart Harbour Guide, 5 editions of the Darthaven Yearbook and an assortment of other issues of various magazines that have since been closed – and not forgetting a website that attracts 200,000 visitors annually. That’s
We were contacted by a reader saying he had collected over 70 issues that only now was he putting into recycling as he was soon moving from the town
about 200 deadlines – at least one every month over 13 years! This magazine is classified by the publishing industry as a hyper-local magazine. Despite the astonishing rise in digital media – Google, social media etc – and at times a precipitous decline in the circulations and advertising revenues of general magazines, national and regional newspapers, the numbers of hyperlocal magazines has actually grown in the past 10 years. I estimate that there are hundre4ds of such magazines, similar in part to By The Dart, published across all the UK. These magazines, almost entirely free and often delivered by hand or Royal Mail to local homes, serve a specific geographic area such as a town, neighbourhood, village, county or even postcode. Most of these magazines though have limited editorial content – so By The Dart is unusual in publishing so much locally relevant content, particularly for a relatively small town.
