Subtext is the name of an online Dawson journal that showcases the writing of Dawson students in the field of film and media. The journal was launched in the fall of 2023 and since then, an issue has been published each semester.
Subtext is put together by a group of students with the assistance of Cinema | Communications faculty advisor Justine McLellan.
The most recent issue came out at the end of the Fall 2024 semester and the next one will be released around mid-May.
