6 April, 2013 – The Changing Magazine Business

06 Apr

I read about a dozen print magazines a month. But I never buy them in a store or receive them in the mail. For the past year or so I’ve been reading them on my iPad instead.

This trend is the most recent and dramatic change to happen in magazine publishing since the start of the Internet. Our friend, magazine publisher Nick Rains,  along with his magazine-publishing colleagues have addressed this challenge with an entirely new product. Have a read of his latest essay The Changing Face of Magazine Publishing to find out how. 

    

 

 "Every time I go back to a module I had already seen, I learn additional things.  I have never seen tutorials that have the excellent mix of what the features are, 
how to use them, enough of the under-the-hood information 
and concepts so that I can utilize the features creatively and efficiently, 
and just enough humor to keep the motivation level high.  Wow!"

Imaging Resource unpacks the mystery of Robert Capa’s ‘Mexican suitcase’

06 Apr

Screen_Shot_2013-04-05_at_4.57.40_PM.png

Imaging Resource has published an interesting article by Steve Meltzer, which examines the mystery of the so-called ‘Mexican suitcase’ – a long-lost collection of images taken by the late Robert Capa. Before escaping Europe ahead of the Nazi invasion of France, Capa entrusted a large number of negatives to a friend for safekeeping. The collection went missing, and was presumed lost for decades until being identified in Mexico in 1995. Robert Capa’s brother, Cornell Capa, finally got to see the long-lost negatives in 1997 – forty three years after his brother’s death. Click through for a link to the full story.
