Playback STL Goes Web-Only

Local storestacks will look a bit less busy in coming months, as Playback St. Louis will scale down to a web-only publication. Responding to some local conversation about the future of the pub, Jim Dunn, in an e-mail today, confirmed what'd been floating around town in recent weeks.

After transitioning over recent months towards a run at national distribution, the husband-wife publishing team of art director Dunn and editor Laura Hamlett will bring the mag solely back to the web, with both working on other efforts, in addition to the online publication. Hamlett, for example, has been doing PR work for bands, including Lorenzo Goetz, while Dunn will focus on web and graphic design.
