In the world of selling magazines to customers, newsstand is the unpredictable relative, the circulation no one wanted to think about, let alone talk about. Eccentric, hard to get along with, sometimes ravishing, other times completely missing the point. Circulators roll their eyes when talking about newsstand, and say, we just can’t control it.
Thanks to the iPad, single copy sales have risen to an unprecedented estimation in people’s eyes. All of a sudden newsstand, or more appropriately the digital newsstand, is all that.Why is this? Because iTunes is built on the one-off model.

Ignoring Harold Ramis’ (playing Dr. Egon Spengler) dire warning: "Don't cross the streams," advertisers are daily crossing the streams of media experience, combining Internet and mobile interaction with more traditional fare―most notably television. Whether our brains can really handle the cascade is an unanswered question, but there is no turning back; consuming one media while interacting with another is “in.”

Wired magazine recently launched its iPad edition, selling for $4.99. For those of you who don't have an iPad or don't feel like shelling out the $4.99 to check it out, this video shows some of the iPad edition's features. (Although the actual experience of viewing it on the iPad does not quite seem the same without the upbeat music playing in the background, and the process of navigating around is just a tad bit slower than it looks skillfully edited video.)
Mobile Publishing
May 2010 From Publishing Executive
I love mobile devices. I bought my first PDA, a Cassiopeia, back in the late '90s. It was a Windows CE device, had a large, color touch screen, and ran scaled-down versions of Microsoft Office applications. I worked for Windows IT Pro at the time, and believe it or not, we actually launched a mobile version of our website specifically designed for mobile devices using a platform called AvantGo. That was 12 years ago, and we were able to aggregate enough of an audience to actually sell sponsorships.

The Lure of the iPad
May 2010 From Publishing Executive
Here is an interesting observation and a modern-age publishing dilemma. Due to print publishing's vagaries and analog necessities, this article was due to my editor four to five weeks before it would be released in Publishing Executive's print and electronic editions. I was asked to write about what publishers should be considering regarding the iPad. Basically the questions are: Where do we go from here? Should publishers be developing apps or wait till the e-smoke clears?

The launch of the iPad has put a renewed focus on digital media applications, and early evidence suggests the impact of Apple's new product on the digital editions market will be profound. With its portability, interactivity and high-resolution color screen, the iPad seems taylor-made for magazines, and audiences have responded enthusiastically—as widely reported, the most downloaded free news app in the wake of the tablet's launch was a magazine reader.
