Where is the school magazine going?

Producing and distributing a school newspaper or magazine is a time-honored way for students to practice writing and photography, but HP's new Mag Cloud has taken the possibilities to a new level. I haven't heard any reports of this being used in a high school, but undergraduates and the University of California at Berkeley are already producing a glossy fashion magazine of their own. Using HP's technology they can put together a package of photos with text and layout and then upload the result to HP which will handle the printing and production. The result can be a very glossy, professional looking product. Costs will limit the introduction of this technique, but it's so attractive and so appealing to young people today that I wouldn't be surprised if more affordable versions will become available during the next few years. And wouldn't one of these eye-catching publications be a nice supplement for a college application?
