This assignment (600 words, submitted via email) asks you to analyze a serial publication of your choice, focusing on its purpose and design choices. Our thinking on publications can go in a number of directions, including magazines, newspapers, newsletters, journals, etc., online or print. Your analysis should address the following prompts:
- What is the purpose of the publication? What does it aim to achieve?
- What type of articles or other content does it publish? How does this content reflect the larger purpose of the publication? Point to specific examples.
- Why is the publication important or significant? Why should we be interested in it?
