Comics journalism is nothing new. Comics book artists such as Joe Sacco, Ted Rall, Joe Kubert, and others have been telling nonfiction stories using sequential art for years. But with the saturation of online news, and editors’ growing interest in both user experience and attracting younger audiences, comics journalism has slowly been making its way to traditional news outlets and is currently enjoying a renaissance in both creative energy and popularity. Symbolia has embraced the Web from the start, publishing stories that mix audio, visual, and interactive elements to create a unique form of storytelling.
Thanks so much to Editor & Publisher (and Rob Tornoe!) for this great feature on Symbolia and the rise of illustrated journalism.
If this is your first time checking out Symbolia, you can download our preview issue for your iPad or via PDF.
We’ll be releasing our next issue, themed We Don’t Belong, very shortly. Subscribe today and be among the first to download.
