Popjustice is a music website founded in 2000 by UK freelance music journalist Peter Robinson, who has worked for NME, The Guardian, Attitude and many others. It is composed of the work of editor Robinson, features editor Michael Cragg, and a host of contributors.[1]
The website seeks to celebrate
The website was relaunched in January 2006 with more features, music downloads and online shop. In November 2006 Popjustice won a Record of the Day PR & Music Journalism Award in the Best Online Music Publication category, with another individual award going to Peter Robinson in the Breaking Music: Writer Of The Year category.
After a semi-hiatus since mid-2021[2] and two posts during 2022, as of 2023[update], the journalism component of the website has migrated to Substack,[3][4] with the Popjustice forums remaining at the original location.
