Magazine, the latest collaborative effortbetween MA Journalism and MSc Publishing students atEdinburgh Napier University. We aim to cover a varietyof interesting stories and events for students and youngprofessionals in and around Edinburgh.The previous issues over the last couple of years set anincredibly high standard, and we’ve worked hard to match thatthis time around. After weeks of commitment and effort fromeveryone involved, I am really proud of what the team managed toproduce here.
Inside you’ll nd a great range of exclusive articles, including our
interview with the guys behind BrewDog, one of Scotland’s mostinteresting success stories of the last decade (page 28). Furtherin, we’ve got a look at some of the arguments behind the ScottishIndependence debate (page 36), an interview with Olympic athleteand medal winner Lee McConnell (page 46), incredible fashionshoots around Edinburgh (page 60), and so much more.But it’s not just limited to the magazine.

beating stress through meditation, a look at some of the peoplebehind protest camps at Faslane and Bilston Glen, and a range of news and reviews from our team of writers.
