Woodlands Magazine Banner.
The Woodlands Magazine will be an online and print magazine that combines journalism and creative writing—contributors will write reported and personal pieces to tell source-driven narratives that are often forgotten by mainstream journalism. Contributors will be encouraged to form relationships with their sources and to include their own reflections throughout the reporting process in their final pieces. The Woodlands Magazine content will focus on longform, reported stories with experiential, first-person components, non-fiction poetry with reported or personal narrative, and reported and personal essays. The publication will focus primarily on issues, events, and stories in Philadelphia, and will accept pitches and assign pieces that will touch on local arts and culture and unexplored Philly subcultures. The Woodlands Magazine is intended to encourage Penn student journalists to engage with the community outside of University City and create accessible, creative pathways for other students to do the same.
