Says Source: "At 52 pages and with a print run of 30,000 copies per issue, Source is crammed full of information, advice and inspiration for young Scots. Catering specifically for the hard-to-reach demographic of 14-to-18 year-olds, it features celebrity interviews, careers advice, motivational profiles and much more. 

"Compelling editorial from our award-winning team combines with attractive design to create a publication that young people want to pick up - whether that’s in school, at Careers Scotland offices or via our distribution partnership with d2 high street stores. What’s more, our readers help create the magazine, with a team of student writers contributing their opinions, hopes and ideas to make Source an unmissable read for young people considering their next steps in life."

More from Source: "Since its first issue in winter 2008, Source has built up an enviable reputation, enjoying praise from numerous high-profile supporters. The magazine’s cover stars have included Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Chipmunk, plus we’ve had the pleasure of interviewing Rihanna, James Dyson, Theo Paphitis and Frankie Boyle to name a few - there are no bought-in interviews here. The magazine’s enthusiastic stance spreads to its competitions which aim to raise aspirations among young people, from last year’s Passion for Fashion contest to this year’s amazing short film competition.

"Owing to the magazine’s phenomenal success, we recently launched the Teachers’ Re:SOURCE, a 24-page supplement containing a mix of features designed to benefit busy teachers who want to enrich their students’ learning experience. The team behind Source is confident that both publications will continue to go from strength to strength, inspiring young people and helping nurture an ambitious and talented next generation."
