The Back Story

How Ed Was Born

Ed head

Ed2010 started in 1998 when founder and president Chandra (Czape) Turner was an editorial assistant. She and a friend decided to meet up with other magazine whippersnappers and swap job secrets and advice. Soon more and more people started coming to Happy Hours and she started an e-newsletter with mag news and jobs she’d heard about. Who knew it’d catch on?

Ed2010 has since grown to 30-plus cities and two dozen college campuses throughout the United States, Canada and the UK. Now we have a staff of 30-plus volunteers at Ed Headquarters in NYC who organize panel discussions, the mentor program, special events and classes. Tell us what you think about Ed. We’re always open to suggestions.

How Do You Say It?

It’s Ed (as in the dude’s name) 2010 (as in twenty-ten). So please stop saying “Eee-dee two zero one zero.” It’s Ed’s biggest pet peeve. Alrighty then.
