Outside (magazine)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Outside is a magazine focused on the outdoors. The first issue debuted in 1978, and a letter inside claimed the magazine was "dedicated to covering the people, sports and activities, politics, art, literature, and hardware of the outdoors..." which is a philosophy that is still kept today.
It is known as the magazine that launched the career of Jon Krakauer, Sebastian Junger, and numerous other succesful freelance travel and adventure writers. Though the magazine has tilted toward a more commercial aesthetic in recent years, it is notable for recruiting leading figures from the literary world for freelance assignments. Other highly regarded writers whose work has frequently appeared in Outside include Bob Shacochis, E. Annie Proulx, Bruce Barcott, and Tim Cahill.
