I just came back from Luxembourg where I attended the first independent magazine conference. More than 500 editors, pubishers and art directors from all over the world were in attendance. The passion to our industry was second to none. I have been to many conferences before, but I have never seen as much love and passion for the magazine industry. You could feel the love in the air…and in the pages of the newly released book We Love Magazines. It is amazing, that as the only university professor in the crowd, I was the only one pushing the commercial role of magazines rather than only the emotional role. It was good enough for a laugh. Take a look at some of what took place at Colophon 2007, March 9 – 11. www.colophon2007.com. For info on the book We Love Magazines, check here for info.

March 16, 2007The new Time magazine
March 16, 2007
Time magazine lost its newsweekly feel and put on a healthy glossy feel. Just received the first issue of the redesigned Time and felt the urge to write this blog before I even finish reading the issue. Hard to put down and lots to read over the weekend. The future of weekly magazines as we know it is here. A job very well done and a giant step toward how the newsweeklies are going to reinvent themselves and bring meaning and relevance to their content. There is no use in focusing on the future if we can not survive the present. Take a look at some sample pages from the redesigned Time…
