Format

''Choices'' was founded in 1986 as a print magazine. In 2002, the print version was discontinued and it was published solely online thereafter. Each issue typically contains eight articles divided among two overarching themes. A guest editor is selected for each theme, who helps organize and edit the articles for that issue. Articles may also be submitted directly, independent of any theme. These articles were previously published under the heading of Grab Bag and are now called Submitted Articles.
