This nice-looking magazine from Canada (from 2009) is an excellent example of a local effort that is generalizable.
"This publication can be more than just another magazine for consumption; those who read it can take something and apply it to their increasingly unruly lives. We wish to use this paper to spark some real discussions and navigate a direction and strategy in which to struggle. This publication is no replacement for face-to-face communication. We don't want to challenge its importance, but to provoke it.
Let's sever ourselves from this dead society, burn our bridges to it, and watch the pursuing police cruisers roll off the cliff. It's with this separation that we define our enemies, to leave nothing but conflict between us."
Included are "A Completely Incomplete Analysis of the Capitalist Disease" (on health and well-being); "On the Art of Picking Fights" (which actually is as much about building alliances); "That's Guelph for Ya: History, Analysis, and Proposals for Insurgence" ('nuff said); "Developing Priorities" (on past, current, and possible future nastiness by the Guelph city government). |
