Charles Day and Ellie Robins, former employees of Melville House, have left New York for the great outdoors. The two have launched a new digital magazine called Someplace, which is all about small-town America.
“We knew there were countless important, surprising things going on all over the US that we’d never hear about in the big-city media, so we decided to find some of those things for ourselves,” the two writers explain on their new site. “We travel to small towns and spend anywhere between a few days and a few months meeting people and gathering stories.”
Each issue is based on a town. The first issue is about Joshua Tree, CA and includes insights the two garnered spending three months in the area. They have not revealed where the next issue will be. “Because of this exploratory, nomadic style of journalism, we have no publishing schedule,” the site explains. (Via Melville House.)
