34th Street Magazine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
34th Street Magazine is the weekly arts and entertainment magazine published by The Daily Pennsylvanian, the independent daily student newspaper of the University of Pennsylvania. It is also known as 34th Street or more simply, Street, in reference to its early days when its office was located on 34th Street.
34th Street contains a variety of local and arts and entertainment-related features and reviews. Its sections include Film, Music, Food & Drink, Ego (fashion, style, and student trends), Guides (local listings and how-to features), High Brow (opinion and general introduction), and Low Brow (humor). The magazine also contains a longer researched or investigative piece that usually focuses on some aspect of the university or its surrounding city, Philadelphia. The magazine is often snarky in tone, and sometimes provides comedic relief from its more serious counterpart, The Daily Pennsylvanian.
34th Street is published every Thursday during the academic year except during examination and vacation periods by a staff of over 30 student editors and writers. During the summer, 34th Street is combined with the weekly version of the Daily Pennsylvanian featuring one or two pages of arts and entertainment coverage produced by a much smaller staff. The 2008 executive board consists of editor-in-chief Kerry Golds, managing editor Julia Rubin, and design editor Sarah Beth McKay.
Another popular feature of 34th Street is the biannual shoutout article. This popular and humorous article allows for Penn's student to anonymously air their grievances with other Penn students, faculty, or the university at large.
