The Houston Business Journal reports that a UH student has launched a magazine aimed at fellow college students:
College life and music magazine UStyle Magazine debuted on Friday to more than 120,000 Houston area college students.
The free monthly magazine was founded by University of Houston Senior Will Deck to act as a news and information source covering music technology, video games, automobiles, movies, travel and fashion.
UStyle writers are divided into music genre committees, Deck said, that act as focus groups.
“Who knows better about what we want than us?” he said.
Deck said magazine committee members also recruited artists and bands college students want to hear to perform as part of a monthly concert series, the first of which will be held Friday at Bar-Rio on Richmond Avenue.
UStyle, which is funded through advertising, is distributed to students at the University of Houston, Sam Houston State University, Texas A&M University, Stephen F. Austin University, Prairie View A&M University, Rice University, Texas Southern University and The Houston Community College system.
Nicely done.
