The rise of and fall of a cool empire, feature by Lida Hujić in The Special Request issue 2, summer 2017, to mark the 30th anniversary of MTV in Europe (1987 – 2017)
The Special Request, an independent magazine in its second issue, celebrates the glory of television when it was the icon in the living room. As the only Dr of MTV in the world, with an MTV Video Music Award in “best academic achievement” to prove it, dr Lida Hujić wrote the story from a personal perspective. Other contributors include Chuck Palahniuk, Philip Pullman, Haruki Murakami, Donald P. Bellisario, Antoine de Caunes (remember Eurotrash?), Mick Jones from The Clash, Ghostface Killah from the Wu-Tang Clan and more, with excellent photography and illustration by leading artists, photographers and creative directors.
