New OU student publication seeks your help ...

Just got the following e-mail:

Dear Mr. Ryan Ernst,

My name is Shane Barnes and I'm writing you on behalf of Backdrop Magazine, a new and completely student-run magazine here on campus at OU. All of the writing, editing, photography, design and advertising sales are done bystudents, for students.

Our magazine represents the iconic flavor of college life, with Ohio University as our backdrop. It informs, intrigues, entertainsand reflects its readers in the OU community. The magazine covers the current issues, style, culture and feeling of college life as we live it.

Backdrop is not for profit and will be distributed to the student body for free. However, as with any student-run publication, we have to realize the issue of funding, and that's where supportive alumni like you come in. Please consider making any kind of donation to aid our cause, and to help liven up the journalistic scene in Athens.

In addition, if you or anyone you know, may it be an employer, friend or family,would like to advertise in Backdrop, please let us know. Upon further contact, we can provide you with a media kit and publishing plan that can answer any and all questions you may have about Backdrop.

So, please, let us know as promptly as possible. We appreciate your support.
