Southern literary magazine Oxford American has been in financial trouble lately. According to this AP wire story, they’re hoping that a move will improve their situation.
“The University of Central Arkansas and the Oxford American announced a partnership on Saturday that will bring the critically acclaimed Southern literary magazine to Conway.” After going under for a second time last July, the magazine won a National Magazine Award this month for its music issue, finishing ahead of Rolling Stone.”

oops!
Thanks, Rochelle! I meant to check on alternative sources, but I got distracted.
