Magazine Publishing

AY2015/2016 Semester 2

The course is about the different forces at work in a magazine. It will give students an understanding of magazine writing, projection, editing, production and distribution; the skills to take up an entry-level job in an editorial department; insights into the industry and the wide variety of titles; and will show them the creative process involved. It will take them from the initial conceptualisation of a title, through the business side of generating income, to the creative hothouse that produces lively, inventive, relevant publications on a regular basis. It will put magazines in a social and cultural perspective, both in Singapore and overseas, and invite students to consider potential new titles.
