JPG is a magazine, published 6 times a year[1] by 8020 Publishing, which focuses on photography. The content of JPG is user-created and submitted via the magazine's website. JPG pays $100 for each photo published. When photos are submitted to the website, they are voted on by members of the site's community for inclusion in the next issue. Photos are separated by theme, with some themes being assigned to issues while some are not.
The magazine was originally self-published through lulu.com, but in 2006 this changed, with the magazine now being a fully-fledged news-stand publication.

[edit] Controversy
In May of 2007, shortly before the release of Issue 10, founding editors and creators of JPG Magazine Derek Powazek and Heather Champ announced their departure. In a widely read and widely linked to post on his personal blog, Derek Powazek wrote about being forced out of JPG Magazine along with fellow co-founder Heather Champ and said 8020 Publishing CEO Paul Cloutier attempted to "revise the history" of JPG Magazine to minimize their contributions. The circumstances of their departure became a subject of intense online discussion, meriting widespread coverage on various technology and photography blogs and a discussion on Metafilter.
