R.A.W. Magazine was born in the summer of 2003 as an email based column known as Romantic Advice Weekly. In the subsequent months that followed Romantic Advice Weekly generated a dedicated readership that requested R.A.W. to broaden the content. Adapting to the readership Romantic Advice Weekly reestablished itself as the Realist Advice Wire Magazine and in the spring of 2004 that decision catapulted it to a private monthly email newsletter. It quickly expanded its readership due to a significant word of mouth buzz, and became a full-fledged website experience. Thanks to issues like the College Issue and the Post – Election Issue within a few months R.A.W. received an unprecedented increase in contributors and circulation. After a brief developmental hiatus, R.A.W. evolved in March of 2005 as R.A.W. Magazine LLC and launched its Back For the First Time Issue in May of 2005. Summer 2006 marked another milestone in R.A.W. History as we presented our readers with an all new sleek web design [R.A.W. 4.0, baby!] and a fresh way to experience R.A.W. through our promotional partnership with DJ Xclusive of XM Satellite Radio. R.A.W. distinguishes itself from its competitors as the premier magazine experience on the web and is at the forefront of a multimedia movement. Watch us! The R.A.W. Evolution continues……
