Back in America, back at school, back to reading my magazines hopefully.
First issue of Fast Company came today! Even though it’s March, I’m already in love with the matte finish! (Taken with instagram)
Reblogging myself :)
Back in America, back at school, back to reading my magazines hopefully.
"Collectively, women’s magazines—by which I mean the whole field, from fashion titles like Vogue and Elle to health publications like Self and Women’s Health to the more general sex-and-diet-tips mags like Glamour or Cosmopolitan (does that even still exist?)—reach millions upon millions of readers each month. So the lack of willingness to cover globally important topics is dismaying. It’s a colossal missed opportunity… …[There are] some serious institutional problems, and these can lead to 1) lack of coverage of important topics, 2) less-than-completely-truthful coverage of important topics, and 3) complete and utter bullshit coverage of important topics."

I die a little inside.
Every time I open my mailbox and there are no magazines -
To be honest, I’m NEVER going to be able to read them all. And even though a lot of content is available online, I will always have that special attraction to print magazines. It’s unfathomable how most magazines (depending on different subscription deals) cost something like 10-cents to 85-cents an issue. But I feel like they’re worth so much more. And somehow, the slight cost doesn’t seem to reflect all the work put into producing them. Then again, printing is now an ancient technology. At least I can afford to catch ‘em all.
I recently subscribed to Fast Company and WIRED.
