History
Far Out Magazine was founded in 2010 by Lee Thomas-Mason, then a student of Leeds Metropolitan University. Shortly after, Jack Whatley became an editor of the website as both pushed the content into new directions.[5][6] Lee Thomas-Mason had previously worked as a sports reporter at Sky Sports, The Mirror and Metro (British newspaper).[7]
While first focusing on unsigned artists and independent music venues with a Gonzo journalism approach, Far Out expanded into coverage of cinema in 2013 and, subsequently, included curated travel, arts and photography sections.[8][9]
In 2017 Far Out Magazine partnered with suicide prevent charity CALM.[10] In 2021, Far Out Magazine also confirmed a media partnership with the British Film Institute (BFI), focusing on the work of Hong Kong film director Wong Kar-wai.
