Der Greif magazine have released their 12th issue this year based upon the theme of censorship online. Der Greif is a contemporary photography magazine. They took hundreds of submissions for this issue and refined their selected content into two halves. The first half being images that were still disturbing but not disturbing enough to be censored on social media platforms and on the second half of the magazine, the reader is encouraged to flip the book in reverse and view the images that were too sensitive to be posted online. This idea forces the readers to purchase the printed edition to be able to view the content exclusively in person. They manage to promote the content online in a a unique way that is online available digitally also. They have done this by censoring parts of the images, making them viable for digital publishing only.
This gives the reader the perfect opportunity to explore the magazines print and digital platform as it executes its relationship between the two perfectly. The 12th issue also features a four hour interview with former Facebook content modular to understand how digital platforms decide what content is released online and what is not. Altogether, the magazine creates a very intimate experience between its social media platforms, website (where you can purchase the magazine and read small extracts) and the final printed unit.
