The Magazine

I’ve been meaning to do a review of The Magazine — a brilliant iOS publication now on its 4th issue — but now you get better, a full-blown essay by Craig Mod that tells you exactly why you should subscribe. The Magazine app is available through the iTunes App Store (Newsstand), and a monthly subscription [...]

Subcompact Publishing

Craig Mod kills it again with another fantastic essay, this time making a case for “Subcompact Publishing,” using The Magazine as an example. I should note that I’ve been meaning to write a review of The Magazine for a while now, but I don’t think I can top what Craig has to say about it — [...]

I know it’s a lazy blog thing to do, but I think I need to start doing regular round-ups of news bits that I tweet about or just don’t have time to prepare an entire post for — and besides, everyone loves quick rounds-ups! What happens when the UK edition of The Apprentice dives into [...]

Flipboard Turning Even More Magazine-y

When I wrote about the upcoming TweetMag app yesterday, I mentioned how I liked the fact that it ignored simple link-free status updates — something that tends to ruin the magazine-like experience in Flipboard — and Craig Mod let me know that you can in fact do the same with Flipboard, although it’s still a [...]

Craig Mod recently posted a new essay in relation to digital publishing — the throat swallowing titled “The ereader incompetence checklist (for discerning consumers, editors, publishers and designers” — and as with everything else he’s written of late, it’s a must read for anyone with even a passing interest in the topic. BUT, I do [...]
