ISSUE FIVE:

FROM REELS TO REALITY

We are so excited to introduce you to the fifth issue of The 11 Seconds Magazine, From Reels to Reality. In this issue, we dive deep into the current political landscape, the beauty of media, art, and community, and how love is more than just a sentiment — it’s action.

You can now read it as a digital flipbook!

Issue Five: From Reels to Reality

Perfectly Curated Just For You

NOTE FROM THE EDITOR

In the 11 seconds it takes for your heart to pump over 26 ounces of blood, a headline can go viral, a narrative can shift, and the pulse of public discourse can change — sometimes imperceptibly, sometimes explosively.

As 11 Seconds Magazine returns at this political and media flashpoint, we recognize that
navigating today’s information landscape is as much about resilience as it is about rhythm. This issue is our love letter to the communities that keep pushing forward, to the seekers of truth who sift through the noise, and to the changemakers who refuse to let cynicism win. In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, we celebrate the bonds that tether us — to facts, to each other, and to the ever-beating heart of change.

Don’t forget, you, dear reader, are hands down our favorite valentines!

— Sahana Narayan, Editor in Chief

11 Seconds Magazine

11 seconds represents the median time after which physicians interrupted patients. But for us, 11 Seconds also means that the healthcare system, contrary to what physicians and patients want, prioritizes time and efficiency, with no room for story. We are changing that, one story at a time, one second at a time.
