Word and image, brand and magazine, print and digital—the connected world of storytelling

The Issue takes a look at multiple stories related to a guiding theme that plays a role in publishing. In this first issue we look at intersections: What is the role of an alumni magazine in a reader’s world? How does an institution’s identity and brand influence the direction of the magazine? How can we learn from independent publishers creating some of the most interesting magazines of our time? How did a successful portrait photographer survive the pandemic?

We explore these topics to consider our role as storytellers, inspire us to push boundaries, and continue to elevate the world of alumni publishing.
