THE WOODEN HORSE MAGAZINE NEWS By Meg Weaver, Editor-in-Chief/Publisher, mweaver@woodenhorsepub.com Copyright (c) 2008 Wooden Horse Publishing ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear readers, Writers, check your contracts. In Greenberg v. National Geographic Society, No 05-16964, decided June 30, 2008, the US 11th Circuit, sitting en banc, held that a paper magazine publisher had the privilege of republishing its content, including the photographs at issue, in the form of a CD-ROM, even where the new media was a compilation of all issues published since the magazine's inception coupled with newly-embedded computer programs for accessing and indexing the individual contributions of the original authors of the text and photographs, per The Intellectual Property Law Blog (link below.) If The Horse gets this right, magazine publishers can take one or several issues and publish them in new media - as long as the publisher reproduces the material in its original lay-out. So, writers, photographers and illustrators, if you would like to get paid for additional use of your material, make sure it is written into your contract.
HOME* from publisher Hachette Filipacchi Media US has ceased publication. About a dozen employees are losing their posts, although Hachette said it hopes to find new roles for some of them. President-CEO Jack Kliger said in a statement: "The current economic environment is difficult, and the mid-market home sector has been particularly hard-hit. When the middle market recovers, we will consider future publication of Home using the special interest publication newsstand model."... TOWN & COUNTRY TRAVEL, the quarterly spin-off, has been folded by Hearst Magazines. Launched in 2003, the magazine became a supplement in 2006. "Given the small number of people affected, and that the product never was a full-fledged newsstand magazine, but rather a polybagged brand extension, it made sense to fold the content into the flagship," a spokeswoman said... CANADIAN BIOMASS is a quarterly from Annex Publishing & Printing. It targets Canadian forest industry professionals and includes news of the bioenergy market and energy industry, articles on the collection and processing of wood residue, opinion pieces from industry insiders, and market trend reports.

GLIMPSE is a publication of Mho Media and the Institute for the Future of Human Thought. Submissions of research articles, essays, interviews, book and film reviews, and visual spreads are welcomed. Details are posted at http://www.glimpsejournal.com/contribute.html... THE ADVOCATE*, the biweekly gay publication, will go monthly beginning in January, its new editor Jon Barrett has announced. "I don't think there is a need for a biweekly magazine anymore with the web," Barrett said. He added that the magazine will be thicker, with a heavier paper stock. "We will have more room for bigger stories and we're going to get better writers. And then inexplicably added per Bay Area Reporter: "You will see more news in the magazine."... 35MM is a quarterly that targets individuals interested in photography. The focus (pun intended) is on camera formats and equipment, lighting tips, working in the darkroom and with software, photography schools, travel, exhibitions, recognized individuals in the photography community, and workshops.

GLAMOUR* is unveiling its redesign with the September issue and is evolving its website at glamour.com. The purpose of revamping the site, said Cindi Leive, Glamour's Editor-in-Chief, is to focus on the "four areas of ravenous interest for our readers" and "to get out of the website being the digital equivalent of the magazine." The site will be organized around the main topics of fashion, beauty, sex and relationships, and health. It will also feature stories from other Condé titles, such as ALLURE* and SELF*. Only 10-15% of the site will be stories from the magazine... MUTINEER MAGAZINE is a beverage publication targeting the 21- to 35-year-old demographic, primarily on the US west coast.

Also, these met rate base: CONDE NAST TRAVELER*, IN TOUCH WEEKLY*, HARPER'S BAZAAR*, ENTREPRENEUR*, PEOPLE*, POPULAR SCIENCE* and O, THE OPRAH MAGAZINE*... BEER MAGAZINE targets drinkers and brewers of the beverage and focuses on taste tests, recipes, and beer events. Derek Buono is the executive editor of the bimonthly, which is distributed in the US and Canada. Think Omnimedia LLC is the publisher... SPATRADE has been acquired by MA-based Questex Media (AMERICAN SPA, AMERICAN SALON).... BIOMASS MAGAZINE is a trade journal serving companies that use and/or produce power, fuels, and chemical feedstocks derived from biomass.

The German publishing group Gruner + Jahr, which sold its US magazines, mostly consumer titles, in 2005, might reenter the US magazine market by entering the bidding war for Reed Elsevier's b-to-b publishing arm, Reed Business Information.

Kimberly Bean is the editor of the title, which has a circulation between 2,500 and 5,000 and is distributed at bridal shows, bridal shops, reception sites, floral shops, bakeries, grocery stores, and other retail locations throughout southern MD. The publisher is the Southern Maryland Wedding Guide LLC... With print magazine sales tanking, the trade organization Magazine Publishers of America is conducting a test. Between August 21 and September 6, anyone who buys two or more magazines at Meijer stores in Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan and Ohio will get a $2 discount on their next purchase at the store. The promotion is being funded by the MPA and a consortium of publishers, including Bonnier, Condé Nast , Hachette, Meredith, Reader's Digest Association and Rodale. The goal, according to Jeremy Koch, EVP, consumer marketing at the MPA, is to "bring additional attention to the magazine category at retail and to stimulate trial of new titles." He added: "We'll look at movement in total sales during the promotion, which we'll measure against sales during the same period in previous years. We'll look at market basket analysis and whether or not we increase the number of customers who purchase two magazines or more. We'll look at how many people redeem the coupons. We'll also look at the sales of those nine magazines on the display to see if the extra display drives incremental sales."... SMART IDEAS is a primary care magazine targeted to patients of nurse practitioners. The quarterly, from Rocket Science Publishing, focuses on chronic conditions and seasonal illnesses.

It currently has 60,000 subscribers from a 1.3 million direct mail campaign. The science-focused magazine targets "the curious mind" and positions it to leverage the strength of the BBC name stateside. "The Britishness and BBC-ness of the magazine" are seen as key assets, according to Andy Benham, the BBC's publishing director... And finally… SPIN* magazine's hire of Kelly Rae as executive fashion director is atypical in that in addition to overseeing fashion ad sales, she will have a dual role as advisor to editorial, suggesting ways to incorporate products into stories and photos, according to mediaweek.com. Publisher Malcolm Campbell said that to grow the 467,503-circ Spin's fashion ad pages, the magazine needed someone not only to engage advertisers but raise the fashion profile of its editorial content. He said that while Rae would make suggestions to editorial, Spin's editor, Doug Brod, would have final say over which products are featured. "I know Doug's scared to death we're going to be diluting the product," Campbell said. "That is not in the cards. We're keeping the separation of church and state very defined here."

You can't get all this anywhere else - not even in directories costing thousands of dollars. Check it out at http://www.woodenhorsepub.com/moreinfo.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WHILE WORKING ON THE MAGAZINES DATABASE_____________________________ Interesting magazines you should have a look at. Much of this is 'hot off the press' news. So new, it might not even be available in the Magazines Database on the website yet. However, it will be there with our next update, which we do as often as needed. But never less often than once a week (usually on Fridays.) About this time every year, writers ask us when the 2009 editorial calendars will be included in our Magazines Database. The answer is that we will publish them as soon as they are released from the magazines. This usually begins in October and can be as late as March next year. Some seasonal magazines, such as ski magazines which publish only during the ski season, already have released their calendars and you will most likely find them in our Database. So why not ignore 2008 calendars? Well, savvy writers can get a lot of mileage even from this "out-dated" information. First of all, reading the calendar gives you great insight into the kind of topics a magazine publishes. In addition, smart writers and PR professionals can lock up gigs now by querying with similar stories, with updates to articles in the "old" calendars, with new research on topics published, new products available, etc. And use last year's calendars to brainstorm ideas for competitive magazines (which you often can find listed in the Magazines Database.) ~~~ BOATING* ~~~ This magazine is for powerboat enthusiasts, who use their boats for offshore or inland boating. It targets avid powerboat enthusiasts, owners and potential owners of powerboats (inboard, outboard, sterndrive) who use their boats for offshore or inland boating; also boat-builders and manufacturers, marine product manufacturers, designers and dealers. The editorial covers boat tests and information on powerboat accessories, seamanship, boat buying, financing, maintenance, sportfishing, racing and sport cruising, engines, electronic, and tow vehicles. Departments include: Gear Head - A round-up of new products. Electronics - How-to tips, explanations of marine electronics and their use, tests, and new products. The Boat Doctor - Answers reader's questions on caring for and maintaining their boats. Making Waves - Incorporates humor, boat and tow tests, how-to advice, news, celebrity sightings, and reader profiles. Short Casts - Angling tips and mini tests of fishing boats. Writers should contact the editor for assignments and we have their reader demographics and 2008 editorial calendar. ~~~ BEND OF THE RIVER* ~~~ This is a magazine for readers interested in northwestern Ohio history and nostalgia.

"As the primary benefit of membership in the Club, the magazine's aim is to provide timely, interesting, and inspiring editorial that will appeal to our audience of intermediate- to advanced-level home gardeners."

It's easy - see the next section below. ~~~ MILITARY SPOUSE* ~~~ This is a lifestyle magazine for military spouses of active-duty, reserve and guard personnel in the US Armed Services regardless of rank. "Military spouses tend to be concerned mostly with issues relating to the transitional lifestyle of the military: Concerned with finding employment, maintaining a healthy atmosphere for their children and coping with unusually high amounts of stress especially in times of- mass deployments. When a military spouse finds herself in government housing, she is usually content on decorating to spice up the unimaginative construction and decor. She will spend a lot of free time to make her living space feel like a home for her family,. Due to the work schedule of the military member, the spouse finds herself in the role of decision-maker and purchaser for the household." The editorial covers relationships, travel, military discounts, financial advice, health and fitness, parenting skills, spirituality, quick recipes, etiquette, decorating, fashion and beauty, moving, interviews with fellow military spouses, career and education. Distribution includes controlled circulation to 190 Naval Exchanges, 145 Army and Air Force Exchange Services stores.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Poetry readings at rock concerts? Young people reading their own words, called 'performance poetry' or' spoken word,' as it is also called, is about to break into the mainstream in the UK. 22-year-old Laura Dockrill's poems posted on the Myspace website have been listened to over 300,000 times. She says: "I definitely think it's going to take off in the next few years. There's so many good artists out there like Scroobius Pip and Aisle16. They are really exciting." Graham Frost, the creator of BBC's Bespoken Word, said that a new generation has developed: "There is a new type of entertainment which is packing people in to the performances. It's performance poetry with very strong ethics. There's an empowering nature where young people from all different backgrounds are addressing issues such as knife crime, media pressure, the credit crunch, suicides. We're now seeing young people using their brains in a very creative way." Encourage someone to read - and write, Meg
