The 50th Outpost

Not that anyone thought it wasn't worthy of it, but at various points during Outpost magazine's early days, informed observers might have thought it would be a stretch for the magazine to last into its 10th year and to publish 50 issues.

This is the milestone that the adventure travel magazine has reached with its just published issue and it is apparently going from strength to strength.

The recent departure from the editorship of Chris Frey (he will continue as an editor-at-large), means there has been a complete turnover of staff since the magazine began in 1996. Matt Robinson, who joined the magazine in its second year to head the sales and marketing effort, is now the publisher. The magazine has a new editor, Larry Frolick, and is looking at the moment for a new art director.

Great stuff, Outpost. Nothing like a good idea in an attractive niche and hard, hard work to get you where you're going.
