Announcing "MAGAZINE"
An Electronic Hotline/Conference
moderated by
Professor David Abrahamson
Interested individuals are invited to participate in an
electronic conference, MAGAZINE Hotline, addressing the
journalistic/communicative/economic/technological issues
related to magazine publishing. Though MAGAZINE's primary
focus will be journalistic, it will also address other
magazine-publishing matters of economic (management,
marketing, circulation, production, research),
technological, historical and social importance. In sum,
MAGAZINE will explore the history, current state and future
prospects of the American Magazine. Among the topics
included will be: magazine editorial trends and practices;
journalistic and management norms in magazine publishing;
evolving magazine technologies (those currently in use and
new ones envisioned); the economics of magazine publishing,
including the economic factors influencing magazine content;
the history of magazines; the role of magazines in social
development; educational issues related to teaching magazine
journalism; "laboratory" magazine-project concepts and
resources; and studies and research exploring the issues
above.
The conference will be moderated by Professor David
Abrahamson of New York University's Center for Publishing,
where he teaches the editorial segments of the NYU
Management Institute graduate Diploma Course in Magazine
Publishing and the Executive Seminar in Magazine Editorial
Management. He is also the author of two teaching texts,
"The Magazine Writing Workbook" and "The Magazine Editing
Workbook."
The MAGAZINE Hotline is scheduled to begin October 1, 1990.
Magazine publishing professionals, magazine journalism
educators, scholars and students, and other individuals
interested in magazine issues are encouraged to participate.
The MAGAZINE Hotline is sponsored by New York University's
Center for Publishing and Comserve (the online information
and discussion service for the communication disciplines).

A Screaming comes across the wires--the list, PYNCHON. Its
purpose is the discussion of and exchange of information
about Thomas Pynchon and his writing. Appropriate topics
range from serious critical discussion through esthetic
opinions to apocryphal stories and unsubstantiated sightings
(or non-sightings).
Simon Fraser University does not have a LISTSERVER, so I
have kludged together a group with remote addresses. To
join the list send a request to me (E-mail
USERDOG1@SFU.BITNET or USERDOG1@CC.SFU.CA). Because of
the nature of the kludge, I need a name, or pseudonym if you
prefer, as well as your Email address. The list is
unrestricted, its just that I have to add members
manually.
List address: PYNCHON@SFU.BITNET or PYNCHON@CC.SFU.CA
