I think I'm a little less picky than some. There really is no "dream job" for me. As long as I'm writing and taking pictures for a living, I'll be happy. That being said, I definitly would like to eventually make the move from newspaper to magazine - and then eventually work full-time writing fiction.
A magazine here in Atlanta called Jezebel would be a good fit for me. I think the target audience is probably upper-middle class to upper-class women age 25-plus.

Here are five recent publications of theirs I would probably choose to run for my target audience:
1)An October article called In session with Sheryl. It's a feature about Sheryl Crow that dives into her musical accomplishments along with her family life and battle against Cancer. (Especially since it's National Breast Cancer Awareness Month) http://www.jezebelmagazine.com/ArticleView.aspx?article=26308e16-9b5b-40df-92ab-43680233c81a
2)The next article I would include is from an April issue and the article is called Into the Light. http://www.jezebelmagazine.com/ArticleView.aspx?article=473e2043-0243-4590-91a8-8d073a5b67f5. This article is look into the band The Whigs - from Athens. I think adding a musical feature will probably draw some of the younger readers (18-30) and it's a great locally-based article too.
3)I would definitely add this travel article on Italy. http://www.jezebelmagazine.com/ArticleView.aspx?article=9c78ff28-c981-4c85-a44b-2783b6a0ba02. This would be something some of the older and upper-class women would be interested in reading and it's a great chance to run amazing photos.
4)The next piece I would run is called Superman. http://www.jezebelmagazine.com/ArticleView.aspx?article=6b6d0cb7-c825-448a-80e1-67125dda0fbf. This article would kill two birds with one stone. It's a feature on a local chef - who is a man. I think this would appeal to the upper-class also with the shop being a quaint sandwich shop in Poncey-Highland. It may also interest foodies and other chefs.
5) The last article I would run is called Up in Smoke and focuses on the hottest fashion trends for fall. http://www.jezebelmagazine.com/ArticleView.aspx?article=0bde38bd-6f8c-4281-b2fe-51875c3606b0. Almost all women are interested in that and are always looking for new ideas. The article also turns some attention on make-up trends - not just clothing.
