Hi All!
 
It's not my intention to start a debate or create a controversy about the merits (or not) of this press release and/or the new publications that are mentioned below, but I did notice the portion that I've highlighted in bold and have underlined.  I know we have some aspiring teen and preteen writers in our midst.  I, therefore, didn't want to pass up the chance to let them know about this career opportunity.  Also, I think it would be great if the magazine, and its web edition, had some input from at least one homeschooler.  Please let us know if any of our homeschooled kids become involved. 
 
Thanks!

RODALE CHOOSES MH-18 AS TITLE OF
NEW PUBLICATION FOR TEEN GUYS
--------------------------------------------------------------
Rodale Inc., a publisher of healthy living information, has
announced that MH-18 was chosen as the official title of its
new magazine and website aimed at teenage guys in grades
8 to 12. MH-18 has also announced a talent search for high
school and junior high school students to contribute story
ideas and articles to its online and print publications. MH-18
is seeking to recruit high-school-age field reporters to report
and write about trends, issues and events that affect them.

MH-18, which is a spin-off of Men's Health magazine, is a new
publication that will provide teen males with information on
topics including fitness, sports, girls, gear and life. The new
publication will premier on the Web later this spring and the
magazine will launch with issues in September and December
of 2000. The magazine is expected to roll out bi-monthly in 2001.

``MH-18 has a code-like quality that appeals to teens,'' says Jeff
Csatari, Editor of MH-18. ``Eighteen is a magical age that
everyone aspires to, whether you're 13 or 17.''
