Welcome to the 2008 Internet home of Jack Behrens, author, editor, national columnist, former Reader’s Digest Professor of Magazine and curator of the nation’s first Student Press Archives.

For your convenience, the links down the left side help you navigate any part of this 24 page web magazine.  The columns change the first of every month.

Your responses continue to make this web site important to me ... and to the readership.  Your comments are important contributions and make this interactive.  You, in other words, make this magazine happen.  So please bookmark this site and write me at jbehrens@roadrunner.com.

We’ve grown since our beginning five years ago.  In the past 12 months the daily visitors are now 27, our hits range from 3,500 to over 4,700 and our reader responses now average six to 10 a month.

Our continued thanks and debt of gratitude to webmaster, Jason Derr, who makes my magazine possible.  You’re looking at one of the most accessible and attractive web sites thanks to his skills, in my opinion.

We’re going to continue the nine basic columns you see on the left: TimeOut, Big Bands and Great Ballrooms, Camp David, Looking Back, Only On Campus, First Down (only during the NFL season), Life...and Beyond, Books by Behrens, and Reader Feedback.

Mirror, mirror which one is the most read?

Here’s the tally for 2007:  Camp David, 2,225; Big Bands, 2,180; Looking Back, 2,087; Life...and Beyond, 1,780; TimeOut, 1,588; Only On Campus, 1,458; First Down, 1,060

Don’t forget ... your input keeps this web magazine fresh monthly.  I certainly wouldn’t be spending the hours monthly to research and prepare this if I didn’t have your feedback.  You won’t get lost in the hustle or shuffle of the media world here.  Here’s your opportunity to agree or disagree with me or whoever. I’m counting on you.  Email me at jbehrens@roadrunner.com. Do it today.
