A new feature bringing you highlights from the mediabistro.com discussion boards. This week:

Newsy: "What's everyone's experience? Are there certain national magazines that are easier to break into than others?"

Belinda: "The easiest one will always be the magazine that goes for an idea and believes you'd be the best writer for it."

MedScribe: "All of the so-called seven sisters national mags lean heavily on their freelancers for editorial content -- typically more so than they do on their own staffers. I think the trick is not so much which magazine, but which section of which magazine."
