New media company Hot Phone Hit Factory announced the launch of Looking Glass, a monthly travel magazine available exclusively to iPhone users.Looking Glass offers iPhone users monthly, relevant, and up-to-date themed travel information in 12 distinct sections. Young travelers (age 18-34) will be informed and empowered to experience their destinations both physically and culturally.
Michael Merriam, former Editor-in-Chief of Time Out Istanbul serves as Editor-in-Chief.
“The Looking Glass reader is vital and curious enough to court the unexpected,” said Merriam. “The iPhone format empowers them to get well and truly under the skin of their destination.”
The monthly magazine will be available on iTunes’ App Store for $0.99 per issue starting on November 15th.
The inaugural issue, available online at www.lookingglassmagazine.com on October 20th, offers a Grimm’s Fairy Tale trip through Eastern Europe and New England. Detailed coverage includes a food critic’s exploration insect culinary culture in Providence, Rhode Island and extensive coverage of Halloween in Transylvania, new to the EU.
The November issue, debuting on iTunes November 15th, incorporates all the online content and adds additional articles. “Walking Against Traffic” focuses on tourism in the Middle East during the Moslem month of Al-Hijaz, when pilgrims travel to Mecca.
“Michael Merriam’s visual storytelling with a twist lends itself perfectly to the iPhone interface,” said Michael Prenez-Isbell, Hot Phone Hit Factory Founder and Publisher. “The pictures and stories evoke travel even if you only read them in on your living room couch.”
