What is a publisher anymore, anyway? A blog is a magazine. A magazine a blog. A newspaper a WordPress install. A Twitter account a journalist.

GQ-British July 2012 

If you don’t have a hard copy of GQ’s July 2012 edition, go grab it NOW! Not only are the pages filled with dashing photos of various models and celebrities, but also with excellent stories. This month’s issue has a well-written and informative piece about how The Guardian may be next to face their last day of print. If this popular UK magazine goes under, which would be next?

Unfortunately, because all magazines are fighting for their lives, I could not find this article online. Do this great magazine a favor and purchase a copy. At the very least, head down to your local Barnes & Noble and spend some time flipping through British GQ for free.

American Prospect Exceeds Fundraising Goal, Raises Enough to Stay Alive

American Prospect Fellowship Program: 

Kit Rachlis (former editor of LA Magazine) said: “the Prospect’s two-year writing fellows program for young journalists will continue under the new budget. He acknowledged that the magazine has been a “great training ground” and even a “farm team” for bigger, and presumably better-paying, publications, but he said he hopes the magazine becomes a place journalists stick around.”
