Medaille College now has a magazine. The Perspective staff put together a magazine a debuted it in the last week of May.

“The Perspective staff decided to put together a magazine because we wanted to put out another publication that the college would enjoy. We thought a magazine was a great idea. We wanted to make sure that the content of the magazine would appeal to a wide audience. We wanted everyone on campus to be able to pick up the magazine and find an article they could relate to and enjoy,” Executive Editor Summer Gemmati said.

It was a collaborative idea from everyone in the paper. We saw other school newspapers did it and thought it would be a fun project. It was all we thought it was going to be and more, a lot more,” Features Editor, James Witherow said.

A handful of students on the Perspective staff were also on the staff of INcite. For editorial positions on the magazine, interviews were held.

The magazine will continue next year, and most likely come out next Spring. Eventually the staff would like to publish the magazine once each semester according to Gemmati.

The rest of the magazine staff consisted of Lisa Murphy who was the adviser, Megan Fitzgerald who was the editor-in-chief, Nick Calandra was photo director James Witherow, Stephanie Gemmati and Chris Musial were features editors.

“I did the magazine because I thought it would be a nice change of pace from the newspaper. The paper is very strict on rules and structure and a magazine you can be a lot more creative and explore more with layout and writing. I just thought it would be a nice change up from the usual and thats what it was, and it came out great,” Witherow said.

“It is definitely going to continue next year, Megan Fitzgerald is going to be the Editor in Chief of the Magazine and I have no doubt that with all she put into it this year, it’s going to be even better next year! We are hoping that it will eventually come out every semester but for right now it’s going to be a once a year thing,” Witherow said.

“I heard that a lot of people on campus were really impressed with the magazine and I am hopeful that the entire campus was able to find an article or two that they were really interested in considering that the main reason we choice such a range of articles was to appeal to a wide audience base,” Gemmati said.
