FIRST MAGAZINE help an alumni!

Greetings all!
I’m writing today looking for your help and to possibly create a new opportunity for the first community. Some back story first:
After I graduated high school 4 years ago I lost touch with the FIRST community as I slowly discovered I hated engineering and transferred into graphic design at my college. I still like the idea of the FIRST program, though. This term I am taking a magazine publication class where we have to make up a magazine and create work for it (a masterhead, cover, spine, contents page, 2 spreads, etc). I want to convince my teacher to let me do a FIRST magazine for several reasons. First I think it would be easy for me to gather materials for (pictures, etc). Moreover I see this as a chance to lobby FIRST HQ to produce such a magazine, even if only as a quarterly. A magazine with actual reporting of team activities, college reviews, technical info, etc. would be a great asset to teams. Having a polished product to present this idea would make the argument for it more persuasive. I also personally would like this because it has the potential to open FIRST up to other creative individuals (artists) who don’t get to see their showcased officially by FIRST or may not see how to channel that into a good career. I want to do this but first I need to know:
Is this currently being done?
Are hi res FIRST related pictures available for me to use somewhere?
Who would the magazine be for? What’s the real demographic going to be?
What sections would you expect?
All of this of course is pending my teacher’s approval so I also need good persuasive arguments to show I’m not catering to an over specialized audience and my idea can have broader appeal. Any advice or info is greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Greg
