Setting Magazine Precedent with Daniel Fish, Editor of Precedent Magazine

Talk Paper Scissors

This is the first episode in a 6-part magazine mini series. Here you’ll meet Daniel Fish, Editor of Precedent, a career and lifestyle magazine for lawyers. In this conversation, you’ll learn about Precedent, including the journey that Daniel and his team embark on with each issue, including a discussion of Daniel’s ‘print brain’ and how he’s shifting gears to a fully-online publication.

You’ll hear what it’s really like to be an Editor and how it’s similar and different from the way magazine Editorial roles are portrayed in popular culture. Also, you’ll hear what role Daniel feels is missing in smaller magazine teams and why it’s such a loss.

We talk AI, including what it’s really good at in the magazine space and what it can’t currently replicate. Finally, you’ll hear what Daniel continues to be excited about in the realm of magazines and journalism-at-large.

This episode is part of a guest lecture series in CGCM 720 Magazine Production & Publishing, as well as DG 8111 Digital Publishing in The Creative School at Toronto Metropolitan University. A special shout out to Master of Digital Media student, Crystal Chan, for her loyal listenership and fantastic questions towards the end!
