Inside The Great Magazines is a program on ABC TV tonight. It looks like a must watch for newsagents:
A new frontier is opening up, a place where money and size are often the defining factor in a magazine’s influence. With corporate mergers accelerating, magazines often share corporate owners with other cross-over ventures.
Facing new challenges from the Internet and increasingly segmented niches, many wonder how the great magazines can survive.
This hour investigates the work of impassioned individual editors, writers and photographers creating magazines within these new market realities.
Follow Time magazine’s acclaimed Person of the Year issue and the evolution of a new women’s magazine in Afghanistan started on ‘a penny and a prayer’ in the final of this thought-provoking series.
This is the last episode of a three part series.
UPDATE (9:48pm) okay so this show is already out of date. It’s not relevant to today’s situation.
Mark what do you mean already out of date? i have just set the record function so i can go to bed and watch it tomorrow!!!!
Cheers
