Carpe Media (dot net) is an online magazine that features media commentary, creative nonfiction and personal essays — as well as a couple multimedia stories, now that it’s July 2009 and we’re fully aware that the era of new media is upon us. The site was founded at the University of Missouri’s School of Journalism and is staffed by current and former journalism students.

Formerly called Carpe Medium, the name change signifies CM‘s goal of serving as a springboard for our contributors’ own websites.

The site’s editor welcomes print and multimedia submissions from both inside and outside the J-school.
