issue 5
it’s an ad that doesn’t disappear in an hour.
the diving horse is an independent print magazine rooted in atlantic city, but not limited to it. we publish writing, images, and fragments that feel lived-in. the kind of work people don’t scroll past.
this is not a banner ad. it’s a physical object. it sits on bar tops, coffee counters, and tables where conversations happen. people pick it up. people keep it. put it in their bags. shoe their friends. read it in the bath. on the plane. in the car. on the train. while they pee and while they poo - a print ad is good for you.
if that sounds like your audience, you’re probably right.
