HIR Blog 18 years, 1 month ago by Martey Dodoo

I was excited to see that the Harvard International Review, the magazine where I used to hold the position of Web Editor, now has its own blog, entitled The Big Picture.

I first noticed the magazine when I received a complimentary copy in the freshman mailing. I can recall being impressed by both its professional writing and by the fact it came on glossy paper (unless most of the other publications, which were distributed on newsprint), but I did not join the staff until January or February of my freshman year. I regret not "comping"^[1] the magazine earlier, as it became one of my most favorite extracurricular activities.
