Its first issue was published on September 21, 2005. The paper's writing staff is largely students from Ohio State, which are also its main audience; it is considered a student magazine in this regard, though it has no official affiliation with the university. Wayne T. Lewis is the publisher and founder. Madi Task is the Editor-In-Chief.
==History== The magazine published its first issue as ''UWeekly'' on September 21, 2005. At the time, it was met with a chilly reception from Ohio State's official daily student newspaper, The Lantern, where faculty adviser Sonya Humes instituted a policy banning any members of The Lantern from writing for ''UWeekly''.<ref>{{cite web| title=Starting a Newspaper War (of Sorts) in a University Town|work=The New York Times|url=http://www.umediagroup.com/NYTimes.pdf|format=PDF|access-date=June 27, 2007|date=November 14, 2007}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Conflict of Interest?|work=UWeekly|url=http://uweekly.com/newsmag/10-12-2005/582|access-date=June 27, 2007|date=October 12, 2005|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927042949/http://uweekly.com/newsmag/10-12-2005/582|archive-date=2007-09-27|url-status=dead}}</ref> Despite this initial hostility, both publications continue to co-exist relatively peacefully on the Ohio State campus.
In 2014, ''UWeekly'' became the country's only weekly college publication to publish in a glossy, magazine format.{{Citation needed|date=October 2019}}
In January 2016, the magazine was renamed to ''1870 Magazine''. The January 2016 issue was labeled the "Inaugural Issue"; however, the magazine's website, ''1870 Now'', remains at uweekly.com.
==Content== The sections of ''UWeekly'' include Campus News, Ohio State Sports, The Hookup (Entertainment) and Music and are included in the paper weekly. Each edition of the paper also includes an Opinion page, Instagram photos #asseenoncampus, an event calendar and a Fashion column.
