- Mongrel magazine
-
Mongrel was an Irish magazine published between 2003 and 2008. Founded by Sam Bungey and Yousef Eldin, Mongrel was a free monthly arts magazine available nationwide in Ireland. It was notable for its high-end production, printed in full colour with perfect binding.
The magazine ran a number of high profile cover stories. It found itself embroiled in controversy in 2005 for its publication of a list of the 'least likable stars' in the country. The story was featured on the cover of The Sun when popular chat show host Pat Kenny slammed the publishers as "low-life."[why?] The magazine published an exclusive interview with the sitting Taoiseach on the eve of the 2007 general election.
The magazine was also notable for its contributors, a generation of Ireland's leading young names in writing, photography, illustration, styling, and graphic design who have gone on to develop significant careers in their individual professions.
The magazine closed[why?] in February 2008 with the last issue's cover design inspired by an Irish Mass card often sent at funerals.
