Dragons' Den

Dragons' Den is the annual competition for MA Magazine Journalism students. In groups, they dream up an idea for a magazine brand - including editorial concept, target audience, digital strategy and revenue - and pitch it to an industry panel. The winning mag is then produced by all of the students on the course. This year's entrants are published daily here and the 2020 contest will be decided on Wednesday March 4.
