About

Launched in 1999, Freaky Trigger is a website dedicated to smart, informal writing about pop culture – music, film, TV, food and drink, books, art, science and anything else the writers fancy writing about. They describe themselves as 'not particularly cutting edge, but we’re generous, affable and curious'. When the site started it was purely a music site for the first few years, gradually expanding its remit. Until 2005 it included the much-loved music blog NYLPM, whose contents form part of the site’s extensive archives.
The blog posts are written by Tom Ewing who is the site’s founder and publisher, Pete Baran and Mark Sinker are editors, Alan Trewartha does the back-end stuff (and wrote the Widget Logic plug-in which the site uses), and Steve Mannion (aka Ghost Food) designed it. Freaky Trigger is a team effort – most of the team are based in London, and most of them socialise together on a fairly regular basis. More than 100 people have written for FT in the ten years they've been running, and the site has around 20 contributors.
Entries in the Freak Trigger concentrate on categories such as Blog 7, Do You See, I Hate Music, New York London Paris Munich, Popular, Proven By Science, Pumpkin Publog, The Brown Wedge and TMFD (Sport). Recent entries include Oh Bondage Up Yours!, S CLUB 7 – “Don’t Stop Movin’”, DESTINYS CHILD – “Survivor”, EMMA BUNTON – “What Took You So Long?”, HEAR’SAY – “Pure And Simple”, The Canon Crawl, WESTLIFE – “Uptown Girl” and SHAGGY feat. RIKROK – “It Wasn’t Me”.
The site explain that in terms of 'advertising and PR: we have no advertising on Freaky Trigger (apart from unavoidable ones via using google for search) so please don’t bother asking us to run any. We also don’t source content from PR agencies or pluggers so don’t offer us any virals or “exclusive” content – but by all means let us know about awesome things you’re doing. Reviews: Most of our reviews are of films, food and drink products, books, etc. rather than music, and we’re not an MP3 blog. So don’t worry about sending us free CDs and music, but if you have other freebies you want to offer us, get in touch. Alcohol and pork products especially welcome. Contributors: We’re not currently actively looking for new contributors so if you’re desperate to write for Freaky Trigger your best bet is to move to London and come to the pub with us a lot! This doesn’t apply if you’ve written for us in the past, or if we’ve invited you to write for us (drunkenly or otherwise!)'. The team can be reached via the email address listed above.

NNew York Magazine
New York Magazine covers, analyzes, comments on, and defines the culture, lifestyle, fashion and personalities that drive New York City. It was founded in April 1968 by the editor Clay Felker and the graphic designer Milton Glaser, and was among the first "lifestyle magazines" meant to appeal to both male and female audiences. Geared for an audience that is generally college-educated working professionals, its readership includes both area residents and visitors interested in keeping in touch with local lifestyles. Created to report on and interpret recent events in the New York metropolitan area, it contains news about the city as well as reporting and criticism about restaurants, the arts and entertainment, shopping and services in New York. The publication is comprised of reader letters, opinions, news, features and interviews. Editorial content is broken down as follows: The Intelligencer section features New York people, places and happenings. It includes three subsections; a quick survey of the city’s most important events is included in It Happened This Week; Party Lines is a photo page; and the Competition, which challenges readers to solve New York-specific problems such as designing a new bridge or remaking an urban health club. The Features section showcases the big stories about people, politics, business, the media, food, fashion, crime, culture, real estate, medical issues, parenting, and quality of life issues. The Strategist section is dedicated to inspiring New Yorkers to live well by providing advice in the following subsections: The Best Bet, Mating, The Look Book, Storefront, Market Research, Food, The Everything Guide, Economy of One, Map, Body, Real Estate and Travel. The Culture Pages section gives the low-down on entertainment with subsections on Movies, Theater, Music, Art, Books and TV. The Agenda section at the back of each issue provides succinct listings for things to do. Subsections include Movies, Broadway & Off-Broadway, Art Museums, Galleries, Photography, Special Events, Music & Dance, Nightlife, Readings, Lectures & Panels, Restaurants, Kids and The Word. The final page is reserved for the Artifact section, highlighting current ideas, trends or interesting information reflecting city life. The magazine's website, nymag.com features several off-shoot digital publications including The Cut, Vulture, and Science of Us.
