Far Out is an independent British online culture platform founded in 2010 and headquartered in London. The site focuses on independent and alternative culture, providing analysis of music, film, travel and the arts alongside exclusive interviews and curated playlists.

History

Far Out emulates Hunter S. Thompson's gonzo journalism, which emphasizes personal engagement and uncensored narrative. Writing from the writers' perspectives makes the publication immersive and thought-provoking. Its editorial style supports its purpose as a countercultural place by featuring unique art, music, film, and travel viewpoints. Rebellion and inventiveness distinguish the website's stories and people from mainstream news. It provides underrepresented voices a voice by telling personal, opinionated stories. Writers are told to go against standard journalism and employ honest observations, detailed narrative, and culture analysis. This approach gives the platform the appearance of supporting individualism and social rebellion. ^[1]
