History
Tuesday was founded in 2003 by a group of students dissatisfied with the selection of student publications around campus. Traditional literary magazines were clouded by elitism and pretension, losing focus on accessible, engaging writing. Intellectual magazines were too narrow in scope, failing to capture the range of discourse on campus. Furthermore, all magazines forced new members to endure a comp process, resulting in poorer-quality writing churned out to meet comp deadlines, and a less creative, more hierarchical atmosphere. Inspired by magazines such as The New Yorker, Harper's, and The Atlantic Monthly, the founders set out to create a general interest magazine that valued creativity, diversity of subject matter, and high-quality writing.
In 2003-2004, the magazine published two issues under the name Voice Where Prohibited. The Columbia Scholastic Press Association recognized these issues with a Gold Crown award in its prestigious publication competition; only four college magazines in the country were awarded Gold Crowns.
In 2005, the name changed to Tuesday Magazine. Tuesday is a submissions-based magazine that accepts pieces on any topic, and accepts members to its editorial, art and design boards without requiring a comp. We look forward to seeing what the future holds for our publication!
