Calling the Creative

Spring Semester is upon us and that means the production of the Broad Street Journal will soon be back in full swing. This cannot happen however without devoted and passionate writers or photographers who are interested in discussing and reflecting on life in Philadelphia through the eyes of a Messiah student. So, if you think this description at all encompasses you, then please email me, Erin, your name and a comment like "Hi, I like to write," and i'll be sure to fill you in on further details!

For Your Perusing Pleasure

You're home for break. It's highly likely that you're bored and have checked your facebook news feed an embarrassing number of times. Sound familiar? Great.

Check out some quality sites.

"America Love It or Fix It" Polaroid is from http://www.goodmagazine.com/ a self-described media outlet for people "who give a damn." They incorporate great articles, fantastic links and if you're interested in subscribing to the magazine, 100%, yes I said 100%, of the profits go to a charity of YOUR choosing. So if you give a damn or even if you don't, check it out.

Moving on. I came across Cabinet Magazine this past year and my view of magazines has never been the same. Their articles are dynamic and engaging and if you don't want to pay the somewhat pricey cover cost of $10/issue you can satisfy your politics-and-culture-thirsting appetite at their website http://www.cabinetmagazine.org/

Lastly, many people peruse the pages of http://www.slate.com/ but their editorial column called "The Explainer" is arguably the best on the web. This column answers all of the few and far between questions you may have pertaining to the media and current events.
