Grandstand Magazine, a new print and digital publication by University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications students, aims to go beyond the box score to uncover deeper narratives within the sports world and to report and tell them in compelling ways.
The magazine was created in the fall of 2025 by Journalism Sports Lecturer Ryan Hunt’s Advanced Sports Storytelling class. Editor-in-Chief Liana Handler and Managing Editor Noah White lead a team that includes over 20 contributors, seven print/graphic designers and multiple web developers focusing on storytelling that is creative, thought-provoking and engaging.
“We started by determining what we wanted our brand to be. The name came next, and we brainstormed about fonts, colors and every other branding aspect that goes into designing a website and magazine,” said White. “These were spirited discussions, but that’s the product of having a staff that truly cares about what it’s working toward. Our editing staff determined a workflow for how we assign work and accept pitches, sending each of our writers out with multiple projects to pursue.”
