Spacing is widely read at City Hall; some even say it plays a role in setting the agenda. Reporters and producers often call on its editors to speak about Toronto politics and events &#8212; to date, the magazine has been featured or included in 31 newspaper articles, 21 magazine articles and on 10 television and radio shows. It has even received awards for content and design, including a National Magazine Award for best editorial package.<\/p>\n<p>On the inside, however, Spacing is a group of young writers and editors who largely pay for printing costs by selling one-inch buttons and, lately, we&#8217;ve been dreaming of a day when we might get paid for what we do. Our magazine may influence the mayor of Toronto, but it doesn&#8217;t come close to paying my rent.<\/p>\n<p>The impression that small magazines are bigger than they actually are is quite common. Every once in a while, progressive teen magazine Shameless receives resum&eacute;s from writers looking for paying jobs, but, like Spacing, the enterprise is still volunteer-run.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week&#8217;s cover story on Eye Weekly talks about the challenges faced by small magazine publishers, including Spacing (there&#8217;s Biz Manager Holland Gidney, Associate Editor Lindsay Gibb &#8212; also editor of Broken Pencil &#8212; and managing editor Dale Duncan on the cover).
