INTRODUCTION
1
Al-Talib, “the student� in Arabic, was the first student-run Muslim newsmagazine in America. Established in 1990 as part of UCLA Student Media, it continues to be a voice for the Muslim-American community. Staff members are all students and the writers are current students or alumni. In the post-9/11 era, Al-Talib is an important medium for the Muslim community to counter Islamophobia in American media by providing a platform for Muslim students to articulate their experiences and perspectives on current events. Additionally, Al-Talib provides experience to graduate and undergraduate students in writing, photography, illustration, video production, graphic design, management, marketing and business. At the height of print media, Al-Talib printed 40,000 issues four times a year and distributed en masse to over 40 states covering most major cities, making it a recognized publication nationwide. However, recent shifts in technology and journalism leads the news magazine to move toward online-based publishing, with an aspiration to create a constant and relevant web presence.

MISSION Al-Talib provides an independent perspective on issues important to Muslim communities. Targeting a college-age audience, we seek to create an outlet for activism on and off campus, a platform for representation of all facets of the Muslim-American communities and a safe space for sensitive topics. We believe that this sort of dialogue, no matter how uncomfortable it may be at times, is necessary in order for our community to appreciate and celebrate its diversity.
WHY ADVERTISE ON AL-TALIB? Readership Al-Talib Newsmagazine’s print issues are available for free throughout the UCLA campus and the Greater Los Angeles area. Additionally, the publication’s online presence and readership grows daily.
