'The Art Of Making Magazines' In The Digital Age

http://cptv.vo.llnwd.net/o2/ypmwebcontent/Commodore%20Skahill/Colin%20McEnroe%20Show%2003-27-2013.mp3

Here are some of the magazine's I've written for: Mirabella, Men’s Health, Mademoiselle, Best Life, Verge ...

At all of the above I was a contributing editor. And Verge was a long-gone Times-Mirror imprint, not to be confused with the hip new The Verge. I also wrote for Cosmo (don’t ask), Metropolitan Home, New Woman, Forbes FYI, Bicycling (where I may even now be a contributing editor), Backpacking, TWA Ambassador (I think that’s what it was called), Commonweal.
 
In all of these cases, I was essentially writing for the print product, the thing that arrives in the mail or on the newsstand. But when I think about how I read magazines these days, it's a very different story. And that's what our show is about today.
