A nice development for Matt Bors’ The Nib.
First Look Media today announced that they have partnered with award winning cartoonist Matt Bors on his irreverent comics publication, The Nib. Formerly part of the online platform Medium, The Nib will re-launch this summer through First Look Media as an independent daily publication and online newsletter.
Created and edited by Pulitzer Prize finalist and Herblock Prize for Excellence in Cartooning winner Matt Bors, The Nib delivers engaging and provocative social commentary in the form of political cartoons, comics journalism, and non-fiction writing from a diverse team of contributors. As part of the First Look family of media properties, The Nib will continue its distinctive approach to storytelling with enhanced distribution platforms to bring its irreverent content to more people in more ways. The partnership is part of First Look Media’s mission to support independent voices and to help them reach and expand their audiences.
It will be interesting what is actually means to the Nib, the dist of political cartoons and the artist.
Cool. I wonder how they will make it pay.
