Week five of the Columbia Publishing Course is the magazine workshop, in which we’re grouped into teams and have to launch a mock magazine. I’m in the TEENS group, and we’ve decided to publish a youth activist lifestyle magazine, called either Ruckus (and aligned with the Ruckus Society) or Megaphone. Still working on the details.

I spoke to Ray Klein, photo editor of Lotus Magazine, last night and told him about what we were working on.

“You? Editing a youth activist magazine?” he said with mock surprise. “Boy, imagine that!”
