Wonderland

Wonderland is an independent arts and culture magazine launched in December 2017, dedicated to providing in-depth coverage of the arts scene in and around Boston. Facing a landscape of shrinking traditional media outlets – including the loss of prominent publications like the Boston Phoenix – Wonderland has emerged as a crucial voice, documenting and celebrating the region's artistic contributions. Currently boasting 64 total members, with 51 paid subscribers, Wonderland has built a community around its mission, achieving an estimated $231 in monthly revenue. While facing the challenges of a self-funded magazine, Wonderland distinguishes itself through its commitment to dedicated, in-depth reporting in a market increasingly starved for substantive arts coverage. Its success reflects a growing desire for independent, community-supported media, showcasing both the power of grassroots journalism and the enduring need for diverse artistic expression.
