Walkabout Jones stands as a refuge from pundits and paparazzi, offering readers a polished assortment of essays, new journalism, art, music, film and social action.
A destination for adventurous thinkers, we envision a community where you’ll read compelling first person narratives, talk about current events and culture, and enjoy art and music from around the world.
Smart but with an attitude, at our core is a muckraker’s thirst for justice and a carpetbagger’s zest for the open road. In the historic tradition of participatory journalism, our aim is taking our readers places they would never ordinarily travel.
Whether it’s six months in Dubai, or a look inside the world of medical marijuana, each series is written in first person voice to bring you as close to the experience as you can possibly go.
Supported by a thoughtful mix of original content, Walkabout Jones aims to create a digital coffee house of sorts—where you can visit anytime to escape from life’s din and be electronically reinvigorated with words, sounds and pictures that entertain and inspire.
“Walkabout Jones is about journeys—whether they’re trips to distant lands or vibrant explorations inside social issues. We see a panoply of publications featuring little more than paparazzi, and while we understand there’s a market there, we also believe there are millions of smart, adventurous, socially-attuned readers looking for something more. At its core, Walkabout Jones believes that people want to be engaged, and our job is to capture their imagination.” – Daniel Halem, Editor
