First Magazine?

[Ianworld]

The idea of publishing a monthly column in Nuts & Volts or Servo sounds like a great idea. They'll often run stories on teams and events now but a dedicated column would be a great step forward. That being said the logistics behind deciding who wrote the articles, the editing of such articles and making what is limited to a single column an even handed piece would be dificult(but then again dificult things get handled by FIRST teams on a daily basis.)

A web-zine on the other hand makes a lot sense. I currently subscribe to a couple internet only webmags. They certaintly don't have the impact a fully laid out and printed magainze does but they're easy to recieve and show a lot of potential. Just as an example check out http://www.artkrush.com/current/ Artkrush is a webmag that covers art. Content or even quality aside its a nice format that is easy to mail out to people. Just as a note a webmag like a printed magazine costs a lot more to run than a regular website. Instead of glossy photos you have high quality jpegs chewing up bandwith. The emails they send, are just the text and the images get downloaded from the website.

I've been trying to help run Pit News, which is now working on it's second try at becoming something. The problem being getting people involved. If you can get people involved to work on it, sign me up, I'd love to help. Otherwise feel free to try to help Pit News get off the ground as we have some people gathered already trying to make it work. Feel free to contact me at leon.machado@gmail.com to chat with me.

Another option is try to get a biweekly column in a daily newspaper featuring your team. It's a great internship and would be very impressive on a resume. A combination of membership on a professional publication in addition to a student one is much better than two student ones.
