The internet is the place to do this stuff. And one day someone will come up with a topical satirical/comedy site - you mark my words.</p> <p>Of course there is always <a href="http://www.chortle.co.uk/">Chortle </a> which does a pretty good job. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=37878#post-106963 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 08:09:09 +0000 Golgo13 106963@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I should have a proper clear out. No idea why I hang on to all that hate mail.</p> <p>Anyway, it might work better if it wasn't just me. </p> <p>"excellent."</p> <p>That's my review most of the time. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=37878#post-106957 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 07:40:50 +0000 Username 106957@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>So start one. as a blog.<br /> check out writetodone.com and have a look at Mary Jaksch's articles or Leo Babauta's articles.<br /> figure out what you want to read in the magazine, and give it a go.

How come there isn't a weekly or monthly mag for reviews etc like the NME?</p> <p>Or is there?</p> <p>Anyway, I would like to work on this publication. </p>
