From revealing the flourishing nightlife culture of hookah bars in Long Beach to revisiting the historical revolution that was the Civil War, the Spring 2008 City magazine has as much diversity as it does its readers.
For its 28th issue, newcomer to the magazine Jean Paik-Schoenberg took the lead as adviser after founder Nancy Redmond's retirement last Spring.
"It's tough filling in Nancy's shoes, but I think the talented writers, editors, photographers and graphic designers came up with wonderful ideas. Hopefully this issue will continue the magazine's tradition of excellence," Paik-Schoenberg said.
With the help of photography teacher Mickey Wilson, Redmond created the magazine's first issue in 1979.
City magazine is published at the end of the Spring semester, however the process of creating the magazine is year-long.
In the Fall semester, this year led by editor in chief Hayley Thomas, writers enroll in Journalism 6AD Working on the Magazine and photographers enroll in Photojournalism 35AD and generate ideas for stories, submit articles and accompanying photos and copy-edit the final copies and proofs.
In the Spring semester, returning and new students may enroll in Journalism 85AD.
The Editor Training class works closely with Evan Ballinger's Art44D class and focuses on further copy-editing, placing headlines and sidebars, choosing cover and inside stories and deciding the layout of each page.
Returning to City magazine as editor in chief for the Spring semester, Michael Brown said, "I think people will be happy with most of the final product because there are a lot of diverse amounts of stories in this issue. For the most part, the writers and photographers captured a lot of good things about LBCC and Long Beach in general."
As for taking any different approaches for the issue, Paik-Schoenberg said, "We had the same goals in mind: to publish a student-run magazine with stories that reflect the interest of everyone at LBCC. I think there's something for everyone in this issue."
City magazine is set to be distributed and available to student and employees in mid-May and will be located on new stands throughout both campuses.
An online version is planned.
