...then examine a publication’s expected impact on the entire student body, which varies widely between publications. When it comes to campus-wide appeal, the impact of any particular magazine often tends to be more restricted than anyone might initially assume.

Uniting all of these artists is the cult of the anti-hero, a philosophy which has resonated with generation after generation of disaffected youth. While every new proponent of this ideology has offered his own interpretation of its time old principles...
