Why It Clears the Standard
- —ISSN-certified independent trade publication · independent for 21 years — Slanted magazine was founded in 2004, officially registered (ISSN 1867-6510) and has published continuously since May/November 2005; it is a recognised 'professional or major trade publication' meeting immigration criteria.
- —Three major international distribution channels · coverage across 6 continents — distributed via Idea Books (global full), Small Changes (UK), Public Knowledge Books (USA) and other specialist distributors, sold in Europe, USA, Australia, China, Japan, India and beyond; meets the standard for broad international distribution.
- —141 reader countries · 32,326 named newsletter subscribers — slanted.de blog covers 141 countries, newsletter 32,326 names, open rate 48.4% — 'in the field for which classification is sought' (design/typography/visual culture) demonstrably broad reach.
- —Arts Council England GTV 'Design' pathway — Arts Council England has placed Slanted on the list of recognised media platforms for the Global Talent Visa arts and design pathway, making it one of the few print media whose features can be cited as qualifying evidence in both visa petitions and immigration letters.
- —157,000+ art community · Slanted print as practical GTV evidence — media practitioners generally consider that 5 years of continuous non-paid Slanted print articles, combined with blog post essays (not 'major' coverage requirements) together constitute a strong EB-1A Criterion 3 multi-source evidence chain.
