The class is structured around lectures given by several editors from local publishing houses who discuss their daily responsibilities, such as acquisitions, editorial, developmental, and production.
Students then discuss assigned readings and present papers on publishing topics.
The article on young editors was especially relevant because we'd just read Epstein and Korda on the deleterious effects on editors of the mergers that began in the sixties and here were young editors saying that their companies gave them total autonomy. Drop us a note letting us know how you're using the magazine in the classroom and what you'd like to see discussed in the Teachers Lounge. We'd love to hear from you.
