I'm curious to know what subjects you would cover if you were the publisher of an urban affairs magazine, and how you would cover it. To pigeon-hole NAC's readership as "hip loft dwellers" is terribly uninformed and presumtuous. My question is, what makes you such an authority to make such an assumption, and what of substance do you have to show in contrast? “Fluff.” Hmm.

Just my opinion. Well, we can disagree Jeff, but it’s a lot of fluff that I think appeals to people who “should be” concerned with healthcare, etc. but aren’t particularly interested.

NAC covers a wide range of issues affecting cities, from immigration to transportation to small business to welfare. Next month, NAC is hosting a conference in Baltimore- the topic is healthcare in cities (hardly an issue that hip loft-dwellers need to worry about). By the way, the magazine also welcomes submissions from readers, so if you have suggestions, you should contact them. I wholeheartedly disagree, Steven.

I think it lacks focus and is trying to appeal to hip loft-dwellers above all else. Content is more difficult than design, but I think they should shift their emphasis.
