About

It is published bi-monthly, with a current print run of 40,000 copies.[1] The Gap focuses on independent music, film, art, games, literature, politics and design.[2]

History

[edit]

The Gap was founded in 1997 by Manuel Fronhofer, as a black and white fanzine that was copied in a Vienna University of Economics and Business basement. The first issue had a run of a thousand copies, and featured the band Blur on the cover.[3]

The Gap won FM4's "Best Magazine or Blog of the Year" in 2015 and 2016, and journalist Thomas Weber calls The Gap "more milieu than magazine."[4][3] The publisher is Monopol Media. In 2017, Yasmin Vihaus took over the editorial office of Amira Ben Saoud; the position was previously held by Stefan Niederwieser.[5]
