Why would you start a magazine if you were just going to steal other people's stuff to fill it? You got one bit right - get the best writers in the country...but the rest of your argument is wrong. moocherx: that’s not cool.

Reduce your content to 80 pages but get original ones. If its AD money then increase your prices. But I guess the collective lot of publishers in Kwt [sorry only pointing to plagiarisers] would never agree with my views moocherx: Thats another lame one.

Then come back and say that again. Boss: start a magazine with 180 pages per month and get the best writers you can find in the country you operate. Then come back and say that again.

Where is our sense of originality? Why did you start or join a magazine to begin with? Was it not to have an outlet for your literary creativity? Did you not have something to say that you wanted people to hear? Or did you just want to see your name in print? If it's the latter, then you're in it for the wrong reasons, my friend. Passing someone else's work off as your own is not cool, and you're cheating your readers of original material. Simply put, if you can't write it yourself, don't write it at all. Moocherx,

Bazaar is the only one with good content, they just need better page designs, fonts and layouts to give it a more unique identifiable look.

I recommend bombarding Al-Shaya'a to remove the magazine from starbucks and that would be extremely damaging! She knows what she did was wrong but she is brushing it off as if nothing happened.
