New EGM to combine print and electronic features . . . somehow
A few weeks ago, it was revealed that Steve Harris, the original founder of Electronic Gaming Monthly magazine, had bought the rights to the property from Ziff Davis, who shut down the magazine last December along with selling the 1Up.com web site. So what will the new EGM be like? In a new interview over at the Publishing Executive web site, Harris tries to describe his vision for the new version.
He states, "First and foremost, we're planning to incorporate digital content within the magazine. This includes professionally-produced video, audio and other types of content." When asked how this will be accomplished he states, "The digital content will be accessible by some directly from the pages of the magazine while other content will be delivered via a digital device included with each issue." Uh-huh. That almost sounds like one of those things we saw in Minority Report. Hopefully this is a real goal and not just a lot of hype.
