Sorted magazine, which folded following the death of its founder, Steve Legg, has been re-imagined as a new project aimed at a digital reader. Sorted Digital is a wholesome online magazine aimed primarily at a male readership.
It is the vision of journalist Val Fraser who began working for the magazine five years ago as a columnist and feature writer. In 2022 Steve appointed her as the Digital Editor with editorial responsibility for the Sorted Magazine website.
Steve’s widow, Bekah, has given her blessing to this new venture saying: “Sorted magazine ceased publication in September 2024 and there are no plans to resume it. Sorted Digital online magazine is a new venture owned entirely by Val with no legal ties to Sorted Magazine or SCM. It’s an exciting new project which has already attracted a wonderful outpouring of support. I am placing the future of Sorted into the safe hands of seasoned media professional, Val Fraser.”
Val explained: “Sorted Digital (SD) is an online magazine published monthly via Substack. When the idea for SD first began to take root in my heart I never imagined it would take off so quickly. I thought it might be seen by a handful of readers. How wrong was I? The digital world is super speedy compared to the world of print. The first issue went out on February 10 and had 10,000 views in the first week!
“Steve Legg’s ministry has left a remarkable impact upon the hearts and minds of many people. I really do feel that I’m standing on the shoulders of a giant. I’ve been utterly overwhelmed by the outpouring of grace and goodwill towards the vision that Steve initiated and worked incredibly hard to deliver. It would appear that God has not finished with the vision He gave to Steve. I’m grateful to Bekah Legg for listening carefully to my ideas and for giving her blessing to this new project.
“SD has been designed for optimum readability on a mobile phone, allowing the reader to scroll through half a dozen articles. I am encouraged that a good number of familiar names have stayed on board. Together we are confident that we can deliver a little bit of that famous Sorted vibe.”
