COVID-19 Forced Phoenix Magazine To Get Creative With 'Best Of' Issue

The impact of the pandemic continues to be felt in all sorts of industries, with job losses leveling off but still at dramatic levels. Our social activities have also been forced to change, with live performances canceled and physical distancing affecting how we interact with each other at bars, restaurants, movies and gyms.

Every item on that list is usually highlighted in Phoenix Magazine’s "Best of the Valley" issue. But the publication was forced to dramatically change what was included and how, because people simply aren’t going out in the same ways we used to.

To learn more about what’s actually in the issue and how it was different from the past, The Show spoke with Phoenix Magazine’s editor-in-chief, Craig Outhier.
