El ambiente aguanta una pregunta
Sobra gente dispuesta a decirte cómo se han hecho siempre las cosas. MUGSHOTMAG revisa de dónde salieron esas afirmaciones, qué dicen los antecedentes y qué pasa cuando alguien pide una respuesta con más fondo.
Somos la revista de Predators MC. La historia, los colores, el protocolo y el trato entre clubes se pueden mirar de cerca.
Algo que se pueda sostener
Una opinión dicha a gritos también puede ser puro cuento. Un buen reportaje necesita fuentes y la opinión debe dejar clara su postura. Ponemos el contexto y el argumento para que decidas qué se sostiene.
A Nuestro Modo también significa hacer esas preguntas en nuestra propia mesa. Si vamos a escribir sobre la doble moral, más vale estar dispuestos a mirar dentro de nuestra casa.
Algo que merezca revisarse
Una pista para una historia, una corrección o una pregunta sobre un artículo van a editor@mugshotmag.com. Incluye el tema y los detalles. Danos algo que podamos revisar a fondo.
