A few weeks after I posted my first newspaper TikTok, an editor from the New York Times metro section reached out. Her name was Dodai Stewart. We had some things in common: both black, spent time at the Westminster Schools, and obviously loved newspapers. She encouraged me to continue the media literacy content because of its impact in the journalism world.

Dodai is the prime example of why I created Kronikled. She's someone whose work you've probably come across, but her story is what makes the words more exciting. She's NYC native writing for the NYT, the great niece of Ollie Stewart (listen find out who this icon is), and has a print magazine collection that blows my mind. She's also dynamic, hilarious, and remarkably knowledge about media to the point you'll have no choice but to pick up a piece of print after this episode.

It's time to get into the magazine created for the gentlemen. When I think of GQ I think if sexy, stylish, and sleek...something I hope would be in my future significant others rotation. My research of GQ led me down the different path of exploring how the word "metrosexuality" is closely tied with the magazine, how it's basically the ex-step brother of Esquire, and how it's a bit more left leaning than I remembered. Let's get Kronikled.

Where can you still buy print media? If you're in New York City, I'll always tell you to go to a store in midtown: Magazine Cafe. I go to Magazine Cafe once a week to browse and buy something new. I thought to myself...why not bring the owner on Kronikled! Mr. Manish opened up about his media consumption growing in in India in the 1980s, how Magazine Cafe solved a problem plaguing magazine stores, what's selling, and what's flopping in print.
