<p>Asking a question for a friend:
Why would anyone read a magazine about [whatever subject] published by college undergraduates when they can read magazines published by professors/professional reporters/ect?</p>
<p>Some people like being exposed to a fresh perspective. Consider this: Why would you ask this question of a bunch of anonymous strangers with no special qualifications? Why didn’t you call a specialist at your local university?</p>
<p>Another possible answer is that almost nobody reads those publications, but that they’re not really published to be read; they’re published as an exercise, to educate the students publishing them. They will become tomorrow’s professors/professional reporters/etc.</p>
<p>And another one: Who cares who the publishers are? If the content is good, it’s worth reading.</p>
<p>Because they might have an interesting, new, or fresh perspective to bring to the topic. Why not?</p>
<p>college students are more motivated by altruistic desires </p>
<p>whereas adults in the working world must be subservient to economics and the mass market. like no offence, but the writings of professionals tend to sound like the musings of just another cog in the machine. students are allowed to have more independence in their subject matter and they aren’t writing for a salary.</p>
<p>Second that.</p>
