This week on ‘The Stack’ we talk about the redesign of ‘Hodinkee’ magazine, discuss the upcoming ‘Rolling Stone’ UK and the relaunch of ‘Wax Poetics’.

Essential listening for anyone who cares about the printed word and developments in publishing. From independent publications, new forms of print media and graphic novels to little-known niche magazines, ‘The Stack’ is Monocle’s take on the world of print, focusing on everything from the glossiest fashion title to the grittiest local newspaper.
