Yukon publisher charts his own course

The website The Awl has published an interesting, if unchallenging, Q&A with Greg Karais, publisher of Yukon: North of Ordinary magazine. His approach was and continues to be somewhat unconventional. He says

"I think there’s a total misunderstanding of what’s up here. I think people think we’re kind of backwater up here, kind of hillbillyish. It’s well-educated up here, nice clothes, good cars. It’s completely misunderstood. People think cold weather is bad, but we can drive in the winter here. The humidity of southern Ontario or Lake Michigan is far worse than the winters here. A hundred steps down my driveway, and this is obviously not everywhere here, but I have a hundred-mile view in either direction. If you go hiking, you feel like you’re the first person that’s ever been somewhere."
