Ok, so I'm in my final year at uni atm studying Journalism. One of my "assignments" is to do a magazine on a chosen subject. Have been ... to do it on something original so the lecturer doesn't have to read 50 identical magazines..
So obv I have chosen poker as believe I can get some good content. The magazine can be anywhere between 7-20 pages and the word count really isn't that important. Looking for thoughts on a structure/idea. At the moment I have pencilled in
FRONT PAGE - (standard front page)
2ND PAGE (??)
3RD PAGE (contents)
4TH PAGE (nvg)
5TH PAGE (nvg cont)
6TH PAGE (q+a)
7th PAGE (q+a cont)
8TH PAGE (basic strat)
9TH PAGE (basic strat cont)
10TH PAGE (basic strat cont2)
11TH PAGE (questions related to strat)
12TH PAGE (history of wsop)
13TH PAGE (summary of this years wsop m/e - ivey/youngest winner/nov 9 etc)
14TH PAGE (??)
15TH PAGE (answers to q on strat)
Thoughts/suggestions/help pls.

One of the pages could be a quiz? Like a hand is played out, where you give options on what the player should do on every street. Then you get awarded points in the end for each answer depending on how good the action taken is.
A similar thing is currently done in one of the other magazines, can't remember which one. Maybe WPT or PokerProEurope.

If you haven't already i'd suggest getting hold of a selection of poker mags and see what they do.
Not sure what your brief is but offf the top of my head perhaps include a 'Poker Icons profile - Doyle Brunson or Phill Hellmiuth or Devilfish perhaps. I'm not sure where you're studying but if it'd help with the grade perhaps do something with a local theme, so for example if you're studying in Cardiff then do a half page on Poker in Cardiff.
If you want feel free to PM me or email your brief and i might be able to be of more help, I studied journalism and have worked on the odd poker mag in my time.

If you have any sense mate, you will do this right now. GL with it. Id do a page featuring one of the UK tours, probably APAT if I'm aiming at a uni poker society level. |

you could do stuff that the poker mags are too scared to do. the aces poker story, where does sammy george get his money? poker cheat stories like that guy who tried to set up erik123 etc in his parents hotel with a video camera installed in the ceiling. nippers and grimmers. tons of interesting stuff that gets swept under the carpet.

A list of local poker tournaments for the month might be an idea?
