PC Magazine To Go Digital

The January 2009 issue (Volume 28, Issue 1) of PC Magazine will mark a monumental transition for the publication. It is the last printed edition of this venerable publication. Of course, as with any technology-related enterprise, this is not the end, but the beginning of something exciting and new.

Starting in February 2009, PC Magazine will become a 100-percent digital publication. So, in addition to our popular network of Websites, which includes our centerpiece, PCMag.com, as well as ExtremeTech, blogs like Gearlog and AppScout, and audio and video content that includes PCMag Radio, Cranky Geeks and DL.TV, we'll offer PC Magazine Digital Edition to all of our print subscribers. The PC Magazine Digital Edition has actually been available since 2002. So for thousands of you, the benefits of this unique medium are already clear. And those benefits will continue to multiply in the coming months, as we work hard to enhance your digital experience. - PCMag.com

Shucks! It's not like I actually read it though.

Sporting News 2.0

It looks like the Étudiant won't be the only media form to launch anew on September 1st. The Sporting News will change its magazine's look for its September 1st issue. New will be:

- Will now feature regular A-list contributions from award-winning storytellers, athletes, coaches, scouts, executives and more.

- Will be 25% larger and printed on high quality paper.

- Will now arrive every two weeks as our publishing cycle moves from 50 issues to 24 issues a year -- including four double issues.

Sounds good. Sporting News is, after all, my favorite of the Big 3.
