From a profile of Cornell’s Batman to an investigation of how bird flu could impact Tompkins County farms, a new student-run magazine focuses on long-form journalism that reflects the culture of Cornell and Ithaca.

Collegetown Magazine had its first print run this week, after existing as an online magazine since last semester. Staff members are distributing copies at various locations and accepting online orders. They’ll be tabling in the Temple of Zeus in Klarman Hall from 1-3 p.m. Dec. 10-12.

Founders Henry Fernandez ’27, Gray Fuller ’27 and Alis Fruehstorfer ’27 are funding their magazine partially through grants, but mostly through cookie sales — dark chocolate chip, matcha sugar and lemon blueberry are a few of their faves. The money allowed them to pay their writers, photographers and graphic designers and to print this first physical copy.

“This isn’t just a substack going on here; it’s a labor of love that’s done with compassion and rigor,” Fernandez said of the magazine’s writing. “It’s cross-generational and cross-cultural because every Cornellian is so different and experiences Cornell in different ways. But all of our pieces have the spirit of Cornell in them.”
