Excellent article giving overview of publishers and their next gen (and sometimes fumbling) forays into mobile: phones and tablets.

David Carr notes a little more on the cool concept tablet video.

Great examples of journalists using social media for resources, story tips, asking readers for questions, etc…

What's missing: not utilizing social media connections to directly share/distribute content to their own networks to increase impact/audience of content.

"Here’s a look at five journalists who use social media, their attitudes and approaches to it, how they fit it into their schedules, and the ROI they got from it. Though this post focuses on journalists, many of their tips can be more broadly applied to anyone working with social media tools."

Uh, this is pretty cool.

"This conceptual video is a corporate collaborative research project
initiated by Bonnier R&D into the experience of reading magazines on
handheld digital devices. It illustrates one possible vision for
digital magazines in the near future, presented by our design partners
at BERG.

The concept aims to capture the essence of magazine reading, which
people have been enjoying for decades: an engaging and unique reading
experience in which high-quality writing and stunning imagery build up
immersive stories."

The concept uses the power of digital media to create a rich and
meaningful experience, while maintaining the relaxed and curated
features of printed magazines. It has been designed for a world in
which interactivity, abundant information and unlimited options could
be perceived as intrusive and overwhelming.
