Welcome to the class wiki for MNO 629: Magazine Management, a magazine-editing course taught by Mark Obbie to graduate students in the Newhouse School’s Magazine, Newspaper and Online Journalism program. This wiki is for students enrolled in the course (offered in spring semesters). Use your Syracuse University NetID to post and edit content. See the class’ Editing Handbook on Blackboard for instructions on using the wiki. Once the spring 2012 class begins, this site will begin filling up with magazine production copy.
Here are links to the final products of our semester’s work: the completed magazines, published April 27, along with each magazine’s social media sites and feeds:
