The web is a powerful tool. It opens up many doors – and closes many others.
The State Press Magazine, cousin to the State Press daily, is a weekly publication covering art, literature, sports, entertainment and even more serious issues such as STDs and human trafficking.
For some, it’s become the alternative to the daily paper, utilizing feature writing, humor and a diverse group of writers, editors, photographers and designers. It has really taken on a voice of its own over the past few years.
Sadly, due to budgetary concerns, the magazine has made it’s way to the web – exclusively. Over the past 2 semesters, SPM was already posting content on the web devil. That was a great way for the magazine to get it’s feet wet, and begin to fiddle with web content.
Now it’s all online.
The magazine is mourning the loss of a paper version, yet is still embracing the web with its world of multimedia opportunities. Slide shows, videos, podcasts, interactive polls, blogs and other aspects of web only content that are certainly exciting and worth the effort.
As mentioned earlier, the web devil currently holds fresh content from SPM. It also has older content from past issues. Stuff you should check out.
In the (hopefully) near future, SPM will have it’s very own website (statepressmagazine.com) which will feature the same aspects of the magazine that people came to know and love (well, like, but love just sounds better). There are currently some administration access and domain name issues that are holding back the site. Maybe within the next week or so it will be up. That’s a big maybe, though.
For now, though, if you care enough to read good featuring writing and some other funny pieces, head over to the web devil and click on the SPM tab at the top.
All of us at the magazine will appreciate your interest.
