The Iconoclast FEB 2018

WHAT DOES ‘THE ICONOCLAST MEAN’?
‘Iconoclasm’ is writing which has a sharp opinion, and takes down another point of view. It attacks
settled beliefs and opinions.
An iconoclast is someone who writes it.
WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO CALL IT THIS?
The magazine existed last year, under the same name. You’ll have to ask the previous editor for the
back story! I decided to keep it as it has a nice ring, and it’s always good to have a meaningful name. A
magazine– especially a sixth form one– should tackle important issues and suggest a different point
of view– which is summarised in our name. Also, I thought it might be rude to change too many
things about the magazine!
WHAT EVEN IS IT?
The Iconoclast is a way for everyone in the Sixth Form to get their opinion across about matters they
care about. You’ll see the range of articles– from serious political commentaries to amusing Christmas
gift guides. The beauty is that it’s accessible to everyone– so whether you want to write about an
issue you feel passionately about, or just want to read what people are saying, you’re bound to love
it!
HOW CAN I WRITE AN ARTICLE?
Anyone is welcome to write in The Iconoclast. If you have an idea for an article, bash out 350-900
words and email it to iconoclastbse@gmail.com or speak to me to help develop it into a Pulitzer Prize
worthy piece.
