Getting Started

 The first step in starting my magazine article is focused on creating a publication, But the first you have to do is know what a publication is. I have learned that publication has multiple purposes like preserving memories, documenting history, being used as a reference, being used as a public relations piece. 

• Preserving memories: Publications play a crucial role in preserving memories for communities and individuals. Through things like books, articles, journals, and other media. 
• Documenting history: This can serves as historical records that document events and societal changes. History books and newspapers capture this. 
• Providing References: Publications can be used to support arguments and can ensure credibility by being publishes in reputable journals.
• Public Relations: It can function a tools for organization and businesses, or even people that are trying to promote their brands. For example newsletters, brochures, and promotional materials are meant to inform the public about products and services. 

Before I started this publication I had to choose whether I wanted to work alone or in a group. While working in a group would be interesting I decided to work individually due to personal preference. I like to work by myself, because I know that my topic isn't that much of a common topic that people as a group would want to work on and also since I am a swimmer myself I feel like I would have more information than my classmates because no one really knows about the swimming at my school.
