<p>Don’t feel bad. I was pretty sure the Jester stopped publishing too! Both of their websites ([Jester</a> of Columbia : TRAGEDY](<a href=“http://columbia.edu/cu/jester]Jester”>JESTER) and [The</a> Jester | Columbia’s Humor Magazine since 1901](<a href=“http://jesterofcolumbia.net%5DThe”>http://jesterofcolumbia.net)) are woefully out-of-date. But in May, a brand new issue of Jester magically appeared on the publication stands in Lerner (the student center), and I read it and found it hilarious. So the Jester is apparently still publishing.</p>
<p>You’re right that Columbia has a LOT of publications. Here’s an incomplete and slightly out-of-date list: [Category:Student</a> publications - WikiCU, the Columbia University wiki encyclopedia](<a href=“http://www.wikicu.com/Category:Student_publications]Category:Student”>Category:Student publications - WikiCU, the Columbia University wiki encyclopedia)</p>
<p>And I’m glad to give you some background info. I think Columbia has a great media/publications scene, in part because Columbia is such a respected name in journalism and publishing. We give out the Pulitzer Prizes and have one of the best journalism schools in the country. Columbia also attracts a lot of students who are passionate, engaged with the world, and have great writing skills, and unsurprisingly many of these students get involved with undergraduate publications.</p>
