BOLD Magazine: A Brave Space for Young Adults To Live Authentically

Abstract

My thesis project is an online magazine that seeks to build a community of young adults who are open and honest about their worries and fears, and through dialogue are inspired to live an unashamed and authentic life. The thesis debuts the first issue of the magazine. This paper outlines the need for the magazine, information about my target audience, details regarding the structure of the magazine and the future of the magazine. BOLD (Begin Omitting Life’s Doubt) Magazine targets young adults who are 23 to 35 years old of every race, gender, religion, and class. The magazine includes feature articles and short stories, dialogues and book club discussions. The magazine’s content also includes social and cultural issues that specifically affect the target audience. In future issues of the magazine, freelance writers, photographers and videographers will also be featured in order to help create content for the magazine and provide a different perspective. I will provide editorial guidance in those future issues to ensure the overall tone of the magazine is consistent. For the purposes of my thesis project, I have written all of the content for the magazine.
