Hold on to your undies, my media junkies, because heaven exists, and it’s the Hyman Archive, where 160,000 magazines are stored in pristine condition, like some ethereal “final resting place for printed matter.”
Lots of cool magazine history nuggets in there, especially the observation that, if journalism is the rough draft of history, then magazines “reflect the particular quirks of society during short intervals of time.” We’re so into it. If you could start a magazine about anything right now, what would it be??
Like Deez Links? Forward to that zine you should start!!
