Video magazine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Video magazines are a series of 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 or via home video rather than reading online material.[citation needed]
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.
