UBO Magazine: The Hard Copy

UBO Magazine
The Hard Copy

By Aaris A. Schroeder
Editor-in-Chief

If promoting artists through media is in UBO Magazine's best interest and the website that is in the works is still not progressing to the standards of the artists promoted, what is the next best thing to accomplish as a media source?

UBO Magazine has decided as of May 2007 to officially go hardcopy. The decision wasn't one that was long thought over since this has been the origonal goal. In the beginning of UBO Magazine, the thought was to attract potential businesses to support independent artists through advertising in order to collect enough funds to push forward with a hardcopy magazine.

That was in 2001. It is now 2007 and there is no hardcopy, although UBO Magazine has become widly experienced in the interviewing processes, collected many photographers and staffwriters along with other various staff and affiliates and has a lot of say when it comes to media in the underground hip-hop community in Sacramento, CA.

UBO Magazine isn't talking too much but word has it that there is a print company based out of Napa Valley that will be working hand in hand with the magazine to create a mini-magazine, a sort of mock-up magazine to give music and art enthusiasts an idea of what UBO is all about.

The more support that is offered to UBO Magazine through the sponsorship campaign that is currently running the better. More information can be found at http://www.myspace.com/ubomagazine and businesses may contact UBO Magazine at ubomag@gmail.com.
