Satirical magazine Defcon is looking to launch itself into the internet age and is seeking local writers to get involved.

It will be North-West centric but highly international. If you imagine that it is as focussed on the North West as a gritty ITV detective series might be, but understands that there are policemen everywhere, then you will be close enough to the truth.
