Influx Magazine (stylized on the website as 1NFLUX MAGAZINE) is an arts and entertainment publication which was established in September 2000.[1] At the time, it was a print magazine distributed freely throughout the southern California area.
As a print magazine, Influx was published in full-color and its employees worked and wrote mostly on a voluntary basis. After the magazine experienced periods of inactivity and infrequent publishing, it returned exclusively online in 2013 with daily content created by a new group of writers.
History
[edit]Influx Magazine was established by publisher Brian Barsuglia, and managing editor Kevin Brent in 2000. Initially, Influx was a bimonthly publication, before becoming a quarterly publication over time.
In 2003, Barsuglia departed from the magazine and Brent carried on as publisher. By 2004, due to the high cost of printing, Influx was no longer publishing print editions. The magazine was then moved to the web where it published back issues and some previously unpublished interviews, reviews, and articles, but was no longer putting out content on a regular basis.
2006 relaunch
[edit]In 2006, following Influx Magazine's debute online in 2004, Barsuglia returned and revived the magazine on the web, making the online magazine more consistent rather than periodic. With a handful of new writers, all volunteer once more, Influx Magazine was once again publishing new content on a regular basis, putting out about one-hundred new articles and reviews over the next two years. This revival had no marketing or promotion, but it kept the magazine alive and current from 2006 before again taking a hiatus in 2008. From 2008 to 2013, new content was added very periodically to the website, but, once more, not on a regular basis. Influx Magazine would remain this way until 2013, when the site was revived once more.
2013 relaunch
[edit]In March 2013, Barsuglia completely re-designed and re-launched Influx Magazine on May 7, 2013 with a new look and a new approach. He enlisted Paul Booth, Nav Qateel, and Steve Pulaski. A print edition of the magazine is tentatively planned for spring 2014.
