The Wake Student Magazine

The Wake Student Magazine

"The Wake Student Magazine" is a weekly student-operated news and entertainment publication at the University of Minnesota. Students from many disciplines do all of the reporting, writing, editing, illustration, photography, layout and business management for the publication. The magazine was founded by James DeLong and Chris Ruen. Student activities fees account for roughly 80 percent of its funding and are supplemented by advertising revenue. The Wake also publishes "Liminal", a literary journal that was created in 2005. The Wake was named the nation's best campus publication (2006) by the Independent Press Association.

History

The Wake was founded in November 2001 in an effort to diversify campus media and achieved student group status in February 2002.Cite web|url=http://www.sua.umn.edu/groups/funding/fees/requests/studentorgs/thewake.pdf?PHPSESSID=1|title=2008 - 2009 Student Organization Student Services Fees Request|accessdate=2008-03-12|year=2008-01-25]

The Wake has faced a number of challenges during its existence, due in part to the reliance on student fees funding. In April 2004, the needed $60,000 in funding was restored, which allowed for the magazine's continued existence after the Student Services Fees Committee had initially declined to fund it.Cite web|url=http://www.mndaily.com/articles/2004/04/07/9112|title=Official Restores Wake's Funding|accessdate=2008-03-12|year=2004-04-07|author=Jens Krogstad|work=The Minnesota Daily] They faced further challenges in 2005 when their request for additional funding to publish weekly was deniedCite web|url=http://www.mndaily.com/articles/2005/02/18/63317|title=Wake Awaits Fees Decision|accessdate=2008-03-12|year=2005-02-18|author=Bryce Haugen|work=The Minnesota Daily] and then partially restored.Cite web|url=http://www.mndaily.com/articles/2005/03/10/63664|title=Final Recommendations In|accessdate=2008-03-12|year=2005-03-10|author=Bryce Haugen|work=The Minnesota Daily]
