...assessment that Harvard needs alternative publishing outlets—is legitimate. The stuffy old Crimson-Advocate-Lampoon triad would benefit from a degree of clever and vigorous competition beyond what The Independent, Tuesday Magazine, and Satire V have been able to provide. The Harvard media landscape is uncomfortably cloven between the august monopolies on one hand and the boutique glossies on the other. This situation benefits nobody...
