The latest new installment in the Media Monarchy kingdom is a monthly look at that oh-so-disposable, yet undeniably influential form of dinosaur media that refuses to go extinct, the magazine. I’ve been a voracious magazine reader since I was kid growing up in a small West Virginia town. Long before the web, magazines were a huge window into other worlds I knew existed outside of my little corner of the world. Now with complete web saturation, I think another old school comeback is in order.
