Work It

There is a new magazine out that looks very promising. It is called, quite simply, Work. I browsed the content up on the magazine's launch site, and to be honest, I have to confess that none of the stories in the premiere issue look very interesting to me personally. But I majored in industrial and labor relations, and I am aware that is the one subject I have a bit more specialized knowledge on than the average magazine reader. And I worked in the labor movement for a couple of years.

I'm not looking for "The Marxist Dialectic of Kitchen Confidential" or anything, but I do believe that the intersection of work and culture could be a lot more invigorating, even on the table of contents. So maybe Work isn't for me, although you would think that I would be the perfect demographic. If I see it in a bookstore or at a friend's house, I'll pick it up and let you know if I've changed my mind.
