Video magazine

Last updated

Video magazines are a series of online videos that follow the print magazine format in which the reader/viewer consumes an issue on a periodic basis. Video magazines differ from traditional online magazine or ezine because they are delivered in a video format and are consumed through viewing online rather than reading online material.[ citation needed ]

History

The concept of the video magazine began in the 1980s with low-budget titles such as Flipside Video Fanzine, an adjoining video supplement to the punk fanzine Flipside. [1] By the beginning of the 1990s, the concept had fully cohered and a number of titles were produced by major media organizations in both the United States and Britain. Notable productions were Slammin' Rap Video Magazine published by BMG in 1990, [2] and the video game-orientated Click Video Magazine, produced and released in 1991. [3]

A number of print magazines have mirrored their content on digital video platforms in recent years, and have produced online-only video content in addition to this. One example is WIRED's Autocomplete Interviews.

Different formats

Pure video magazines

These magazines exist purely in video format and only online, without a print counterpart to support it.

The first magazine to launch in this format was "The I Love Comedy Video Magazine", which is currently published through YouTube, launching in July 2016. [4] This was followed with the launch of music lifestyle magazine EWE Zine, in March 2017. [5] [6]

Augmented reality video magazines

Augmented reality video magazines have a print counterpart to support it. Using apps such as layar and that blends the offline with the online.[ citation needed ] The first example of this was GUAP magazine which started life a crowd funding project. The magazines uses an app called Layar to make their content interactive, linking to video content elsewhere.[ citation needed ]

The Exposed is similar to GUAP but instead of using a third party app to link to its video content, The Exposed has its own native app under the same name. [7] This app blends the offline with the online. [8]
