Mr.Magazine today...
On David Carson’s personal website there was this note buried in a sea of other notes:
david carson has no connection whatsoever with the magazine calling itself “carson mag”,
So, considering the note and the new name for both the magazine and the website, I reached out, via email, to Alex Storch, the magazine’s editor with few questions about the situation. Here are my questions and his answers:
Samir Husni: What is the story behind the shift from Carson magazine to Untitled magazine?
Alex Storch: We bent over backwards to try and accommodate David but unfortunately he made working together impossible. The funny thing is, under all of this drama, we’ve realized that the real story here is how remarkable the magazine is. We have amazing content in Issue Two, which features Noam Chomsky, Mike Doughty, Neil Strauss, Shepard Fairey, and more. We’re currently in the process of changing the name and bringing on new designers for future issues, but hey, life goes on.
SH: Is the second issue with the line on top of Carson’s name going to be sold on the newsstands as such?
AS: Yes.
