For the U.S. magazine, see State Magazine.State.ie (formerly State Magazine) is an Irish website and formerly a monthly music magazine, which launched in March 2008 and folded in January 2009 having published a total of nine issues. While the magazine claims to be "going online", founding co-editor John Walshe admitted that it would be on an amateur basis "no one is going to be working full-time on it because we will all be working elsewhere". Originally the concept of the magazine involved a hard copy of which there was a charge to purchase, however after six issues it was decided to make the magazine's content free to view online. The first issue appeared on Irish shelves on 6 March 2008 and featured Michael Stipe of R.E.M. on the cover. This immediately garnered comparisons between the new magazine's similarities with Hot Press who featured Stipe on their cover at the same time, a move widely thought to be an attempt by Hot Press to stifle State's status as a serious 'alternative' to the more established local magazine. At a price of €5.50, State charged €2 more than Hot Press.State is published by Roger Woolman and edited by two Hot Press alumni, John Walshe and Phil Udell.
