Publishing

In 2021, we successfully launched 1919 Magazine, Scotland’s first dedicated current affairs magazine in more than two decades. Covering justice and social affairs issues, it is a free digital magazine containing in-depth interviews, features, and exclusive news stories on topics such as policing, crime, politics, and public policy.

1919 provides opportunities for freelance reporters and photographers, helping to boost Scotland’s successful media industry through greater investment in quality journalism. So-called ‘citizen journalists’ – who don’t have the training of qualified journalists – have tried and failed to take on the mainstream media. That is not what we do at 1919; we rely on experience and training to deliver a product that is part of the mainstream.

The publication has been shortlisted for several national awards and has been regularly referenced by outlets including the BBC and in First Minister’s Questions. Quantum’s Co-CEO Alan Roden has twice been shortlisted for editor of the year. The magazine is funded by the Scottish Police Federation, and its name is a reference to the year the organisation was founded.
