This document outlines a proposed group project for a Temple-centric web journal. It will include official Temple publications like newspapers and magazines as well as unofficial blogs and websites. The project will provide commentary on arts, sports and culture in a magazine-style digital format. Students will take on dual roles, contributing content while also laying out design, editing, or managing site content and traffic. A tentative content structure is outlined that divides students into groups focusing on areas like commentary, stories, sports and games. Secondary roles are also assigned for editing, design, site content and traffic optimization.
