Walking through the Journalism and Mass Communications building, you can see several posters, flyers, bulletins, etc. The topics range from classes to photography from the students, yet all of these make me wonder, "How can I go about doing that?" There are large posters with three covers for the magazine "American" or something to that effect, pinned up all over the walls of the building. Once I looked at the covers for a bit I realized that I actually knew one of the models on the front cover. The Mormon outfit and greased hair threw me off a bit, but yes, it was him, I was sure. Then a rush of jealousy overcame me. How did he land this role? I would like to be photographed for a magazine. Then I stepped back even more so, and asked myself what this magazine was all about. This new magazine didn't have much copy on it to explain the niche this publication was aimed toward. Then I noticed the words saying something like, "I am an American." "Don't judge based on religion." "Don't judge based on orientatation." I could be completely wrong about these titles but the overall effect left me curious. Was this a magazine about squashing stereotypical associations through race, sexuality, religion, etc.? That would be a first. I left the hallways wondering what was in store for that magazine, and trying to remind myself to look into that later on. SJSU is definitely touching upon some delicate issues here and I’m looking forward to the publication release date.

Did you notice that this is the spring edition of Access magazine, which is produced by JMC students enrolled in Jour 155? It's not clear from your blog post.
If you want to do this, just sign up and take the class.
