Pitchfork rakes in Kill Screen content

Pitchfork Media announced today a partnership with video game culture magazine Kill Screen to highlight the publication’s most interesting content online. The web publisher, whose preference normally revolves around the music industry, is “thrilled” by the magazine’s bringing “same curiosity and critical engagement” to the gaming medium.

The publisher will regularly highlight content from Kill Screen‘s website on their own, without a doubt earning more recognition for the otherwise little-heard of gaming arts and culture mag.

The idea for Kill Screen was brought about in 2009 by Jamin Brophy-Warren and Chris Dahlen, both of whom have contributed to Pitchfork music-wise in the past. The pair were disappointed by the lack of gaming coverage in the mainstream media and started Kill Screen to combat this deficiency. Its a quarterly magazine whose contributors have written for the likes of the Wall Street Journal, LA Times, GQ, The New Yorker, The Onion, and other esteemed publications.

A reader of the magazine myself, I can only say good things about what I consider a print-based publication for adults. Its featured the words of renowned journalists including Leigh Alexander, Tom Bissell, Tracey John, Jenn Frank, and of course, Jamin Warren, himself.
