Replica magazine is an online journal created through the ingenuity of Thomas Foxely a graduate of Leeds University. The magazine is an interesting concept whereby, people reading the magazine are also free to write articles for the magazine. It is an experiment into collective journalism, where people share thoughts and opinions in the structured form of a digital magazine. . Foxely, is producer, editor and art director as well as writing stories. It is only through the internet that this magazine is made possible, through the relatively cheap production value, the speed and ease of information transfer and the vast amount of people it is available to. He has a brilliant website to accompany the magazine, that although maybe a little graphically uninteresting and tame, allows for people to easily subscribe, contribute, look at back issues etc.

The way in which this information is written, consumed and circulated is a modern phenomena, that undoubtedly will change the media world forever!
