A magazine // update.

hello,

for those who missed the meeting or were there and just need a heads up, i've listed down below a rough outline of the content submissions for the first A magazine. its not perfect, so take not of issues and we can discuss at the next meeting.

some notes:
+ we're extending the deadline to august 15th
+ all editors, see lowercase below
+ MPlan editors, i think we need a column for the editorial. we're wanting to focus the column on advocacy or information surrounding the respective program. ie. what's going on and how should it change, improve, disappear, grow, etc.

+ we're trying to keep the magazine to 60 pages: about half images, half text. this means we have room for about 300-500 words for the editorials, and a cap of 750 words for the features. i think we're in the very earliest stages of developing an editorial style. i personally don't want to be in the business of dictating prose, but we're going to need more discussions about verbosity and tenor in the coming weeks and issues. i think we're not all going to agree, but up until this point, a few people have noted that writting shorter pieces will be most effective.

let the fun begin,
chad.
