It is always important to remember that there have been others before you. Some that people overlook too easily. When magazines became the new medium (circa 1850) three excellent publications went into print. They are still in print today and have a presence on the web as well. I try to emulate these great journalistic publications, and I will always dream to work for one. (Seriously. Email me.) They are: The Atlantic; The Nation; and Harper's Magazine.
