Analysis: JPG Magazine

JPG Magazine is a mix between a photo sharing site and a rating service that in effect is a user edited photo magazine. Bi-monthly the editors sets up different themes after which users contribute and rate each other’s photos.

In the end, the highest rated photos are selected for the print magazine, which is then available at newsstands and by subscription.

Voting isn’t completely the final basis of the print magazine as editors still have the last word, but in general they seem to follow the voting pretty closely (yes, I subscribe). JPG Magazine is therefore an interesting blend between online and print.
