Vote Up Vote Down

Who are the readers of your magazine? The students?

Imagine then, that you get a subscription to some journal. However, instead of providing you with carefully selected, edited and reviewed content, the journal sends you all the hundreds of raw submissions they get, and asks you to read through all of them, and pick the ones you like to appear in the journal.

That would be problematic, wouldn't it? In fact, there are core problems with this approach:

You are turning the consumers into manufacturers.
You are asking the students to go over hundreds of unedited raw articles, the best of which no doubt would need at least one revision. Not a single student would go over all those articles. Many would just vote by name, without reading anything, some would gloss over some of the articles and vote for whatever looked interesting.

There is an alternative, something between what you're proposing, and letting the students do all the work. You can have a "magazine club" - some volunteer students, who would do the selecting and the editing, and learn about the process of editing a magazine in the process.
