''Pop Magazine'' is a quarterly, free press, action sports magazine available in Australia. Similar to the American magazine, ''Blisss'', it covers skateboarding, snowboarding and surfing news along with interviews and a lifestyle section covering music, cars, films and opinion pieces from around the world. Each issue of the magazine is available online as well as the paper version distributed only in Australia. There have been two snowboarding films released under the production and direction of the ''Pop Magazine'' owners. There was a potential for a skateboarding film in late 2009. The magazine was founded by Rick Baker and Dave Keating in 2005. Rick Baker was listed as the editor from 2005 to October 2010. Dave Keating is currently editing the magazine. == History == Rick Baker founded the magazine with Dave Keating in 2005. The first issues had only interviews and product reviews in them. Since then there has been a large growth in ‘lifestyle’ content such as fashion editorials, music reviews and opinion pieces. The magazine has created a great deal of controversy in the snowboarding industry which has had both a positive and negative impact. It is often criticized for airing business issues at a consumer level and has had strong opinions on sections of the industry which have caused ongoing feuds with brands, stores and other media. On 26 July 2010 ''Pop'' announced on its website that it had formed a joint venture with Melbourne-based publisher, Lifelounge. In the press release that was published on the ''Pop'' site that day,〔(''Pop'' Sells Out – Rick And Dave Remain Poor )〕 co-founder Dave Keating said that Lifelounge were "... going to provide ''Pop'' with sales support, management support and takeover back-end tasks (accounting, etc.) in addition to helping Rick and I reach our own goals for ''Pop''." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pop Magazine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
