Platform Magazine Celebrates Two Decades of Advocacy and Inspiration
In the world of publications, Platform magazine stands out as a unique and dynamic force. First published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year, this glossy weekly publication has been gracing readers with diverse, informative content for at least 25 years.
The magazine's focus is on powerful stories of advocacy, resilience, and inspiration. This was evident in their August 2025 issue, which placed these themes at the forefront. Platform's content is a blend of traditional magazine articles and an active online presence, with a strong social media following, particularly on Instagram.
Platform has also ventured into hybrid formats, producing special editions like the "bookazine." This innovative approach showcases the magazine's evolution from a conventional publication towards more versatile formats that combine the best of books and magazines.
Despite the lack of specific historical origin details or founder names in the search results, the references to 20 and 25-year celebrations suggest that Platform began its journey in the early 2000s.
