| − | The 292 Magazine launched February 18, 2013 at midnight. However, the founders originally planned to launch during Fall 2012 in print form. There were several meetings during the fall semester to start the publication as soon as possible. The first photo shoot starring Dina Chang (CC '16) and Dakota Ceneta (CC '16) dates to late September 2012. The people that remained interested in pursuing the magazine gathered a list of interested people, photos from the first shoot, and a set of ideas they planned to execute in the publication. However, after applying to different Columbia funds such as the Gatsby Fund and not getting anything, the co-founders dreams were temporarily crushed. They even had bad thoughts such as dropping the idea, forgetting the 292 would ever be a thing, and resuming their own miserable lives. They got their shit together during winter break today. They said they'd start the 292 Magazine online with zero cash if they had to and develop an online readership. They'd work to make the 292 the best version of itself even if they were poor as fuck.
