It has been recently announced that The Hudsonian will be distributed and sold at Hot Topic by Editor-in-Chief, Nolan Clearly.
The decision was originally proposed in May by the Hudsonian’s Layout Editor and local Hot Topic junkie, Abigail Woolsey.
Woolsey stated on her relationship to the Hudsonian and the newspaper.
“I grew up in Hot Topic. I took my first steps there. So when we were looking for a place to increase distribution to, I naturally thought of my birthplace. The place where I took my first steps, the place where my career takes its first steps. It made sense. I was thrilled when they took my offer, ” Woolsey said.
“I’m still waiting for that modeling contract,” Woolsey added.
Nolan Clearly also discussed the distribution plan.
“The decision to strike a Hot Topic deal with The Hudsonian was… a decision,” Clearly said.
Cleary also conveyed confusion about the whole ordeal.
“Some people ask me why I thought this was a good idea. I’m still trying to figure that out myself.”
However, Local Hot Topic customers and HVCC students shared their excitement for the distribution.
“I am an HVCC student and major My Chemical Romance fan, so when I heard that the Hudsonian was now distributing at Crossgates… I was psyched because I can now get the Hudsonian along with my shirts and chains,” an anonymous liberal arts student told the Hudsonian.
Another frequent Hot Topic customer, Alice Kyle Willow, talked about their thoughts on the deal.
“What the f*** is the Hudsonian?” Willow said.
“I love everything in Hot Topic, I’m so happy I’ve been able to buy so many clothing and necklaces that better show my style, I’m glad that they’ve made such an effort to cater to my interests. I like goth clothing, I like rock, I like newspapers. What more can I say? I’m very excited that Hot Topic will be selling the Hudsonian newspapers,” Woolsey said.
