A journalist gathers information for a media outlet that disseminates the information through a broadly defined ‘medium’ – including newspaper, nonfiction book, wire service, magazine, news Web site, television, radio or motion picture – for public use. This broad definition covers every form of legitimate journalism.
My father was the editor of an agricultural magazine called ‘The Southern Planter.’ He didn’t think of himself as a writer. He was a scientist, an agronomist, but I thought of him as a writer because I’d seen him working at his desk. I just assumed that I was going to do that, that I was going to be a writer.
You can get inspired from a magazine, yes, but you can also be inspired from a website, from a street-style blogger, from what people post on Instagram.
My ‘No Parlez’ album in 1983 – which went quadruple platinum – changed my life. The funniest thing though is the pictures we shot for the cover were rubbish, so we had to use a set we’d done for Smash Hits magazine instead.
I can write for any magazine now, in any voice. I can do it in two hours, I could do it in my sleep, it’s like writing a grocery list.
I agree that there are some bad apples on Wall Street. I spent about ten years exposing corporate and financial fraud for ‘Barron’s’ magazine and I found a lot to write about.
Gramercy Tavern appeared on the cover of New York Magazine the day we opened, and it was five deep at the bar with people who were not necessarily here to dine. They just wanted to kinda sniff out the hot, new restaurant.
When you work at a magazine, you have to tell the truth. When you’re not working in that format, it’s fun to see where your mind takes you when the dictates have nothing to do with anyone but yourself.
My happiest moments of growing up in the Bronx were when my mom would bring home a new sports magazine from the candy store. I would jump out of bed and grab it from her. Then I’d rip the front cover right off and tape it to my bedroom wall.
After more than a decade as the editor of ‘Wired’ magazine, Chris Anderson started the company of his dreams – a robotics manufacturing company called 3D Robotics – to produce the autonomous flying vehicles coming out of DIY Drones.
When people see a negative thing about me on a magazine, they’re gonna buy it. Every time some site writes something bad, all my followers go on there, and it brings them more traffic.
I’ve been on the cover of ‘Time’ magazine three times, not for my beauty but because what I was doing was newsworthy around the world. I’ve worked with teams all my life, but I’ve been nice and I’ve been kind.
I wrote a piece for the school literary magazine that now makes me think: ‘My God in Heaven, this is just the worst drivel.’
I barley read stuff about myself. Even when I see some article about myself in a paper or a magazine, nine out of 10 times, I skip it.
In terms of stories I would buy for a science fiction magazine, if they take place in the future, that might do it.
Usually if nobody hates a piece, nobody loves it, either; and a magazine which sets itself the goal of provoking thought is not doing its job if everybody agrees with what it does.
I work for ABC television; I have my own syndicated TV series. I’ve been on the cover of ‘Time Magazine’ and on the cover of ‘Sports Illustrated’ five times.
Working at ‘Harper’s’ was an awakening experience for me. I genuinely enjoyed the process of putting together a fashion magazine.
Before I really became interested in fashion, all I would look at in a fashion magazine was the ads. It only dawned on me recently that just looking at the ads really doesn’t teach you everything you need to know about the fashion world.
Success does not mean happiness. Check out any celebrity magazine to look for examples to disabuse you of thinking that being beautiful, successful or rich will make you happy.
If you want to go out for a hunting trip and shoot cans with your son and a .22, that’s fine. Do I need an AK-47 with a 100-round magazine if I’m going on a hunting trip? No. It is, to borrow a phrase from Confucius, like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
I started writing at the age of seventeen because I had a teacher in high school who said that we had to get something accepted by a national magazine to get an A. The teacher later withdrew that threat, but the writing bug bit me.
The surprising thing is that so many teenage cancer novels are very good. John Green’s ‘The Fault in Our Stars,’ recently published by Penguin, was voted Time Magazine’s book of the year in 2012 ahead of Hilary Mantel and Zadie Smith.
I’ve won some awards. ‘Time’ magazine designated me as one of the environmental heroes of the 20th century. Oh, and I’ve got some honorary citizenships, like from the Conch Republic of the Florida Keys. But the one thing I am proud of is I didn’t get the Chevron environmental award. Never did get that one.
Every week I read about myself in a magazine, about something that I haven’t done or some place that I’ve never been or don’t even know. It’s just gossip, rumors, egos, and politics.
I think GQ is the best magazine for me in terms of fashion for men.
No-one in their right mind would buy the ‘New Statesman’ and change it from being a left-wing to a right-wing magazine.
But if you pick up every other magazine, it is the peanut butter diet, or the cabbage soup diet, and then you go to the radio and you hear that you can drink some solution and you will lose weight overnight. It just does not work that way!
I was so passionate about being in the magazine industry, even when I first started at ‘Mirabella.’
I was an absent dad. Once the magazine started, I really had two families. The dream was the magazine. I worked through the night all the time.
And I used to buy ‘Fangoria,’ the horror magazine, which made my mum wonder if I was going to be a serial killer.
I was the executive editor on a little magazine called Greek Accent, whose only claim to fame is that its art director went on to be the art director of Discover for many years.
I love having my personal life. Hence why I didn’t sell my wedding to a magazine.
I got that experience through dating dozens of men for six years after college, getting an entry level magazine job at 21, working in the fiction department at Good Housekeeping and then working as a fashion editor there as well as writing many articles for the magazine.
While I was in school, a local magazine picked the 10 best students, and they picked me and profiled me in the magazine.
I was one of the first ones to be on the cover of ‘Society’ magazine in 1995 flaunting my six packs.
My Snapchat and my Instagram probably get more views than every magazine out there.
I was a writer for ‘New York’ magazine. I had been to business school, but what did I know? Still, everybody from the receptionists on up to the editor would ask me what they should do with their money.
I’m a firm believer in the Second Amendment and the Bill of Rights. I don’t think you should infringe on the type of weapon somebody should buy or the number of rounds in a high-capacity magazine.
I think in conventional magazine wisdom, you need to have a redesign every decade or so.
I was tired of illustration. You’d work so hard on a commission and it would go in to a magazine, and you’d turn the page and it was gone.
Each year in early spring, during the season of Lent, which begins on Ash Wednesday and concludes on Easter, a plenitude of books, magazine articles, and television shows about Jesus appear.
Most of my exposure to American pop culture was through this weird prism of ‘Mad’ magazine.
Sometimes I’ll flip through a magazine and do a double take when I see myself in it, it’s just crazy!
I never would have dreamt in a million years that I would have young girls coming up to me at Glastonbury or on the streets of L.A., New York, London, and telling me how much GurlsTalk or seeing my picture in a magazine means to them, as a woman of colour.
My first company produced ‘Silicon Alley Reporter’ magazine, where I held the dual titles of CEO and Editor.
It’s actually really great to be a student and an actor, because I get to do this job that I love, then just when I think my head might explode, I get to go to school where they don’t really care about what magazine cover I’m on.
The only reason I wanted to do ‘MADtv’ was because I grew up reading ‘Mad Magazine’ because I’m a comic-book nerd.
When ‘Penthouse’ and ‘Hustler’ came along, they confused what I was trying to do. Before they arrived, we were perceived as a sophisticated men’s magazine.
I got an offer at ‘Vogue.’ And I desperately wanted to work in magazines. My interest wasn’t in fashion, but when you get an offer right out of college for a magazine that big – I decided that it was probably better to start at a big name magazine, even if I wasn’t necessarily fascinated with the subject.
After leaving ‘Vice Magazine’ a couple of years ago and working only part time on boring administration stuff, I made antagonizing the press almost my full time job.
I was like, ‘I’ll take out garbage or do whatever it takes just to work at ‘New York Magazine.’ My god! I’d do anything!
When People magazine called me, I did the job on Ansel. I’m older than Ansel and he has to mind me.
For my first job interview out of college, I wore a cream-colored cotton suit with cap sleeves and an inverted box pleat skirt that was appropriate for the late-August heat – and wildly discordant with the Red Hook offices of the graffiti magazine I had called twice to find.
