This is the story of two roommates launching a magazine called the New Athenian Press. Based in Boston, the journal's name derives from the city's ostensible title of "Athens of America." Here is a chronicle of our project from idea to action.
About Us Draft 1:
"The New Athenian Press is a journal (online and off-line) written and published in Boston, MA; a city ostensibly known as the Athens of America. While the editors often hold different views and opinions, they agree on one simple fact, challenging conceptions of the world is essential for every one, as ultimately, our understanding of the world should be fluid and plastic, always open to discussions of change and new ideas. To this end, the New Athenian Press covers issues that challenge contemporary culture and accepted "common sense." Through discussing, analyzing and sometimes critiquing culture, the editors hope to offer new ideas into old arguments and reexamine traditional beliefs and ideologies from new perspectives, through articles, literature and the arts.
For students and parents, young professionals and business executives, optimists and pessimists, democrats, republicans or otherwise, it is more important than ever that we all take an interest in the dynamic and sometimes divisive issues that permeate the world around us. And today more than ever it is possible for us to share our ideas and learn from one another about them. No matter what we can always be better, and this starts with opening our minds, accepting that the world is complicated, and jumping in head first - every day."
