Hudson wrote a feature about John Macfarlane and The Walrus for the 2009 Ryerson Review of Journalism summer edition.

We’re a bit late with this, but back in October, Sheila Sampath, art director of Shameless, a feminist magazine for teenage girls, co-founded a design studio called The Public, which specializes in communications for organizations committed to social change.

Finally, Elaine Corden was recently appointed editor-in-chief of Yukon, North of Ordinary, Alaska and Yukon, The Last Great Road Trip, and ArtsNet Yukon. All three magazines are owned by Harper Street Publishing.

“I don’t think people know how sophisticated the people who live in the Yukon are," she says. "And I really want to present that place to Canada and the rest of the world.” Corden has previously written for online magazIne The Tyee and Vancouver’s urban weekly Westender, and plans to relocate from Vancouver to the Yukon early this summer.
