Sounds next to impossible, but it’s happening. For some folks subscribing to Entertainment Weekly in New York and Los Angeles, there will be a video player in the fall preview edition of the magazine that’s slated for availability on September 11. Here’s the article from USAToday.
While the primary purpose of the video is to promote CBS’s fall lineup, I think the technology has the possibility of doing more than just that. Could this be the saving grace for magazines and newspapers? In the future will we see and hear magazine ads that include jingles? Could Rolling Stone become what MTV was supposed to be and actually play a video within their pages? Will we eventually become so annoyed with people “reading” their magazines in public that they’ll come equipped with a plug for ear buds
Oh the possibilities!
I feel like we’ve just entered the world of The Jetsons.
