Show SUNDAY HERALD . Sunday, January 12. 1947 Teen-Age Publisher BY NEA SERVICE NEW YJORK. Jan 11 (NEA) Bernard Krisher is no amateur publisher. At 15, he already is busy turning out his second magazine. This time it's "Picture Story," which "will endeavor to present the teen-age mind on black and white." "What we "really hope to accomplish ac-complish is to have the only magazine mag-azine in the United States that will be by teen-agers and for teen-agers," the youthful publisher pub-lisher says. . So far, "Picture Story," with approximately 1000 subscribers, is operating in the red. "But at this stage I figure that you can either make money or put out a good magazine, not both," Krisher says. "Any profits we may eventually get I intend to pour back into the magazine to improve it." When Krisher came to the United States from Leipzig, Germany, Ger-many, in 1941 he could speak no English. Starting in the third grade at Kew Gardens school, in Queens, he mastered English in two years, caught up with his own age group in school and was publishing his first magazine, a mimeographed monthly whose deficit he met by selling subscrip-ttons subscrip-ttons to other magazines and by running errands. That first magazine mag-azine reached a circulation of 800 before he abandoned it. After starting to high school this fall, Krisher decided to return re-turn to publishing, but on a somewhat some-what larger scale. The third issue is-sue of "Picture Story" is ready for the presses, but already it has surpassed its less elaborate pre-. pre-. decessor in circulation, content and acclaim. Slightly larger than pocket-size, pocket-size, "Picture Story" is printed by photo-offset, is well-illustrated and sells for five cents a copy but the price comes nowhere near meeting costs. Printing for the January issue was $125, but Krisher is beginning to get some advertising which helps meet the deficit. He's still running errands and selling subscriptions to other publications to make up the rest. The magazine so far has covered cov-ered the United Nations, printed reports from Europe written by its own teen-age staffers, interviews inter-views with movie and radio stars, apd picture lay-outs on local events of interest to teen-agerS. "No press agent stuff," says Krisher. "On my first magazine! press agents gave me the run-' around and I had to way-lay j people to talk to them. I am convinced con-vinced it is better that way." j Krisher's writers work more for experience than for the pay they receive 10 cents an article. Eventually he hopes the sub-scripticns sub-scripticns and advertising will let "Picture Story" expand and grow. Some of those subscriptions, he feels, may well come from adults who will find the magazine a mirror to the often misunderstood misunder-stood teen-age mind.
