HIT: Magazine Opinions

[Monica Kemp <Monica.Kemp@BRECKSCHOOL.ORG>]

Hers are summations of the responses I received on the magazine inquire.


Thrasher: The consensus opinion held that Thrasher may be unacceptable in
a school  Pictures and language are mature, ads and articles questionable.

New York Times Upfront:  Most like NYT Upfront for content and age
appropriateness.  It was describes as a "Weekly Reader" for teens.  It is
most often used in classrooms for current events.  Doesn't get much
circulation or use in the library.

Teen Ink: The literary magazine for teens.  May not serve as leisure
reading, but a good avenue for kids to get thier writings published.

I had no feedback on Billboard, JAZZIZ, or Hit Parader.
