Management has all the say - Anonymous employee KoreAm Employee Review

KoreAm Journal for 25 years has been an English-language magazine about the Korean American experience. With its start as a literal mom-and-pop publication, the scrappy tabloid persevered through the decades, growing into its most recent incarnation as a perfect bound, matte-finished, semi-monthly with a professional, 4-color processed design and layout, often with adroitly polished writing, devastating photography and, on occasion, award-worthy journalism. What a long, strange trip it's been.

Has the debt-to-income ratio ever been in the publisher's favor? Though modesty seldom seems to apply to Korean Americans, a KoreAm staff salary has always required a certain frugality of lifestyle. To this end, early this week, the magazine's management suspended publication indefinitely. The August/September issue, currently on new stands, will be the last (for the time being). Content from the magazine will continue to post on the associated site: iamkoream.com.

Smart people, only Korean-american magazine
