Is there a clear boundary between adult and student responsibilities?
Teens are the primary shapers of the magazine’s editorial content, in collaboration with the adult editors. They are also involved in some major decision-making roles, such as hiring adult staff. Adults are primarily responsible for non-editorial projects, such as fundraising, layout, production, and circulation. We acknowledge that teens are experts in their own experience, while our adult editors are experts in helping teens find ways to convey those experiences to others. Thus, our stories evolve out of a close working relationship between the teen writers and the adult editors.
