The independent screen magazine

Stories worth another look.

We are lovers of films, TV drama and games, and Multi Source Media is dedicated to the latest and most interesting news from these three worlds.

Our favourites stretch from The Godfather films, Fight Club, Se7en and Christopher Nolan's films to Game of Thrones, Twin Peaks, ER, Westworld, Mad Men and House of Cards. In games, we keep returning to the GTA series from III to V, Spider-Man 1 and 2, and the Batman games. They are part of what brings us here: the pleasure of finding, revisiting and talking about work that stays with us.

About this magazine

Multi Source Media is an independent British guide to films, TV drama and games. The magazine is organised into three desks, one for each subject, so that readers can go straight to what interests them. Each desk has its own page, and the most recent articles from all three are gathered further down this page.

On every desk you can expect news and ideas that put recent releases in context, alongside practical guidance on what to watch or play next. We make room for more than one opinion, because the work that matters to us is worth discussing, and a recommendation should explain its reasons rather than simply rank titles.

To find out more about the magazine, read the About page. The standards we aim to keep are set out in our editorial policy.
