Think was produced in a spring 2011 senior capstone class that combined magazine and news-Internet majors. Riane Menardi was editor-in-chief of Think; Allison Maze was art director. The class was taught by Lori Blachford, the Peggy Fisher and Larry Stelter chair of magazine journalism, and by assistant professor Jill Van Wyke.
Think is available at various locations around Des Moines, or you can read the digital version. The companion website is at www.thinkdsm.com
Think is produced with support from the Meredith family and Meredith Corporation.
