We have received this from David Kilpatrick at Icon Publications:

At the end of 2014, Archant shut down the printed editions of Professional Photographer and Photography Monthly. Because of the substantial hole this leaves in the market, we are promoting f2 Freelance Photographer to attract former PP/PM readers. This obviously involves offering discounted subs, trial issues, and so on.

To be fair to former f2 subscribers, we have an unpublicised (not impossible to find though) special deal for a maximum of 500 subscriptions to f2, one year only not continuing, at half price of £14.85. Our target is to pull enough new or returning subscribers in to enter a higher discount band on postage, which increases again on March 30th and has hit us badly as our super-quality print weighs 70% more than typical news-stand mags.

You can find this offer here.
