The new issue of City Magazine dropped 5/12/11. What is City Magazine? It is the collaborated effort of three classes, two semesters, and hundreds of hours of hard work. Long Beach City College has a small but prominent journalism program that allows students from all skill levels to report on issues they think are news worthy. The Viking, LBCC's newspaper, produces a new issue every two weeks and unfortunately City Magazine cannot come near being printed so often.
This magazine had gotten tons of recognition in the JACC which is a state wide competition for community college magazines. City Mag is also where a familiar character that goes by The Man had his work published on the previous issue which got overall excellence in the competition.
This issue features many talented young journalists... and yours truly.
With Long Beach being one of the most diverse cities in the country, City Mag did its best to tackle a bread range of topics.

If they have an online edition (PDF download?) I'd be glad to get it. Not likely I will get by LBCC before issues runs out. Do they mail them?
