Case study
Abstract
SAPIENS is a free, public-facing online anthropology magazine with the tagline “expanding worlds by exploring everything human.” In this case study, Emily Sekine, an editor at SAPIENS, walks readers through how the publication cultivates storytelling skills for academic writers aiming to reach a popular audience in today’s saturated, fast-paced digital media environment. The piece provides a brief history of the magazine and what the editorial staff has learned about digital media since launching in 2016 and then explores the potentially transformative impacts of anthropologists sharing well-crafted stories with the wider world.
