A Brit and a woman created and nurtured Newsweek. Now a British-born woman is moving it forward, pinning its hopes on a high-profile, print-digital merger. Can it survive – and is it any good?
I’m dividing this into two pieces, because I think that, in order to better judge and understand the magazine, it would be helpful first to understand something of the history and nature of American news weeklies, and their previous digital forays.
History of Time magazine perks

Those perks didn’t make the list issue

Very lovely online fashion zine that I’d love to see on newsprint, created by Romeu Silveira and distributed via blogspot since 2006 (via Thinking for a Living) UPDATE: Bandwidth currently exceeded on the images, but do download the PDFs
Digital magazine association needed
Or at least a digital section of the ones that already exist, to provide sales teams with research to back up their assertions. Though would it really make much of a difference?

Eye gets our hands dirty
Stack offers a different independent magazine every month
Sounds good – but why didn’t any of the big distribution houses come up with this? There’s a huge lack of imagination in distribution that means they miss out on ideas like this one, that can inject a bit of excitement for an audience craving new things outside of the mainstream.
Anyway, once there are many more mags, I want to be able to choose between the person selecting the mag. So I could get, say, Jeremy‘s selection for 3 months, then switch to Ralph and Sarah‘s, with a small note inside explaining their choices. Prediction: I foresee a tie-in between Stack and Distill. They’re made for each other.

Everywhere magazine gets mothballed
Back “before the end of the year“. Disclosure: I have a piece in the latest (last?) edition. I was invited to contribute, which is a little different from the UGC model it espouses; I’ll receive the same payment as all the other contributors, though hopefully the free subscription will be transferred to the still-running JPG

Design is pretty, but won’t someone think of the content?
Editorial grandaddy Harold Evans rails against design-led emptyness. He might not enjoy this October’s Belvedere Festival then
All-black Italian Vogue “most wanted issue ever”
10,000-copy reprint for the US market. I have a copy, and don’t really get what the fuss is about. A bonus “fashion shows” supplement provides plenty of skinny white girls for those who like them (as do all the ads)
Time tries the Radiohead subscription model
Unlike Radiohead, people might actually put an amount more than the 44c an issue it otherwise costs (including the $5 Amazon coupon)
