Interesting 'Old magazine info...'

http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9802E2DC1638E733A25753C1A9629C94669ED7CF
Came across this article from The New York Times. It was published in 1897 so it has some good info on early magazines.

Also this site is an excessive timeline of media events, kind of interesting as well.

This is a cool site if anyone is interested in magazine cover art from way back when. 

Magazine Timeline

Here's a good starting point for a magazine timeline, dates are a little bit broader than what we discussed, but oh well. 

Happy Researching  : )

ARTicle ideas

Hey gang,

I don't condone this, but here's an unusual medium for print making: http://www.craftzine-digital.com/craft/vol04/?pg=125
I think an article on this subject would definitely get some attention.

I'm imagining a fictional piece on squid farming and ink harvesting, or a mock article about the ballpoint pen industry attempting to go green. Of course, since it would be a fictional piece, we could come up with a more humane way of harvesting the ink that doesn't involve the slaughter of innocent squids. I know it sounds crazy, but with a little Photoshop work and some clever writing, this could have a lot of potential.
