grammatical number - Can 'the magazine' be used with plural agreement to refer to the editor and staff collectively?

If I am referring to a magazine as an entity comprising its editor and staff, is it correct to say, 'The magazine are keen for submissions' or 'The magazine is keen for submissions'?



(I'm correcting an Australian English text, where they use The magazine are... when referring to the corporate entity.)
