ZUMA Launches New Cutting-Edge Photojournalism Magazine: DOUBLEtruck

February 11, 2004 - San Clemente, CA - As part of its continued efforts to promote and inspire outstanding photojournalism, ZUMA Press has released DOUBLEtruck Magazine, ZUMA's first self-published magazine dedicated to the photojournalists that bring us bigger-than-life images. Concerned photojournalism is not dead, and this magazine celebrates in-your-face photography of important issues around the world in 60 pages of high impact photojournalism. DOUBLEtruck is presented in two distinctive sections. The first, appropriately titled the Year in DOUBLEtrucks, walks readers through storytelling images of last year's major news events. All the images presented in this section ran as double-page spreads in leading weeklies around the world. The second section, Never Been Kissed, celebrates the unseen--the best pictures of 2003 that were hot but haven't run doubletruck yet. "With hundreds of thousands of images licensed worldwide and dozens more published as doubletrucks, 2003 was an extraordinary year for ZUMA," said Scott Mc Kiernan, director and founder of ZUMA Press. "At the height of magazine photojournalism, doubletrucks populated the media landscape. Though more and more rare, having your picture published across two full pages is still considered the ultimate coup in our industry. We thought it only fitting to celebrate our photographers' success by showcasing their strongest published and unpublished works in this format," he said. DOUBLEtruck will be published quarterly during its first year and monthly the year after. ZUMA is looking for one or two great corporate sponsors to keep it ad free or limited to only one or two ads.

Ireland: Standing Stones to Stormont, written and photographed by ZUMA Press photographer TOM QUINN KUMPF, is hot off the presses. Kumpf's work explores Irish identity and how the Irish understand their relationship with a landscape shaped by an ancient, active past. The book takes the reader back more than 5,000 years and shows how directly the names of places are associated with ancient legend and myth. ZUMA Press proudly represents images from Standing Stones and Kumpf's previous books including Children of Belfast. If you're in Colorado, be sure to check out his upcoming Standing Stones to Stormont exhibition!
