What about Steve’s legacy? It’s sorted

Following the success of a six-month pilot scheme, Sorted Digital will officially launch at CRE 25 – with many friends of the print magazine’s late founder Steve Legg (pictured) in attendance.

Sorted Digital editor Val Fraser said: ‘In order to accurately gauge existing good will I’ve intentionally refrained from promoting it during the six-month pilot scheme. I’m excited that I will be speaking publicly about it for the first time at CRE 25.’

In February 2025 it was announced that Sorted magazine would become an online magazine called Sorted Digital, published monthly via Substack. Within the first 10 minutes of going live the announcement attracted 2000 views and a further 10,000 by the end of the first day.

Since then, ten issues of Sorted Digital online magazine have been published over a period of six months achieving an aggregate total of 72,000 views. It has been read across 27 countries and 14 US States.

‘It’s a promising start which means Sorted Digital has the potential to match the annual reach of the print magazine,’ said Val. ‘Knowing that readers feel confident in the work I’m doing is priceless. I feel they are behind me and want to keep Steve’s legacy going into the future.’

Sorted Digital will be a major part of a special lunchtime event on both days of CRE 25, hosted by Sue Rinaldi, in the Steve Legg Arts Theatre. Special guests include Paul and Fiona Jones, Graham Kendrick, Paul Kerensa, Tony Vino and Andy Flanngan.
