Two new magazines

November 13th, 2006 • Culture Briefings

I had the pleasure of meeting Larry Smith this weekend. He recently founded Smith Mag, an interesting zine centered around teh idea "Everyone has a Story." He picked the name Smith because it is one of the most common last names in the country – I like this magazine. It’s refreshing particularly because it truly exercises the philosophy that anyone, read anyone has a good story to tell. Be it a pizza guy or a half-drunk lonely customer at a diner. A print version will be launched early 07.

One of my the first Editor’s I worked under, Doree Shafrir, is now an associate editor at Gawker and has founded her own magazine, The Crier. High-brow, literary and print — this magazine has piqued my interest. It’s also faintly remniscent of the New Yorker. The magazine describes itself as a small magazine for big ideas. Worth checking out.
