What is The Nospokesman?
The Nospokesman is a digital magazine, created by students at Hebrew Universtiy.
The Nospokesman gives the opportunity to any student and young professional to express him or herself freely.
It is based on the belief that anyone, when left to his or her own thoughts and devices, is capable of creating original and brilliant ideas, instead of thinking in clichés.
The expression and gathering of these original ideas and creations focused on one common subject, is a fuel for a real understanding of one another, understanding of our society, and understanding of our own self.
There is then no necessity to have studied literature to write a mesmerizing poem neither to have been in art school to paint a wondrous painting.
The Nospokesman is a platform for self-expression, creation and dialogue, open to all students and young professionals, there is no limit on origins, opinions, and field of study.
The name of the magazine, the Nospokesman, is inspired by David Foster Wallace, who, when referred to as the spokesman of his generation, answered that there can be no spokesman in this generation...In the same spirit, the Nospokesman will not try to tell what is right to think, what is the right opinion, the right voice, the right politic to follow.
