Wish Magazine Closing (Saving Private Dimma)

As you may have heard, Wish magazine will cease publishing at the end of 2008. We enjoyed bringing you the finest in fashion & beauty, home & decor, food & entertaining journalism, and we hope you enjoyed each and every issue. We are all sad that WISH magazine is ending, however our web-site wish.ca will continue to be updated and the 20-minute supper club e-newsletter will continue to be published. We hope that you will continue to enjoy both of these wonderful products. If you are a current subscriber, we will be contacting you about your Wish subscription over the next weeks and will supply you with individual information about next steps. We will also update general subscription information on this web page. We have enjoyed sharing Wish magazine with you and thank you for your support and understanding.
Sincerely, Darlene Storey VP consumer marketing (Canada)
LIBERTY NOTE: Ah, good thing Suzanne Dimma smelt the smoke before the fire started. She's over at Canadian House and Home Magazine now and she is the best of the best here in Canada! Thank Goodness she's still working. (click on the image. that's Suzanne and her husband in their home)

When You're Naughty & You Know It, Clap Your Hands

I love her statement rings and necklaces too. That's a must.
Did you know that British women spend an average of 8 years of their lives shopping. That's 301 trips to stores a year, 15 of them for shoes. They spend 48 hours a year just looking in the windows!

Blog Driven Publishing is Born!

With a heavy emphasis on the local, The Printed Blog is an independent outlet that aggregates user-generated content from the internet and publishes it in print. The result is a fully tactile newspaper that reads and functions like a web feed, but that can still be spread across the breakfast table or enjoyed on the train. Bucking the "one-size-fits-all" trend followed by many newspapers, The Printed Blog aims to choose the content of its many local editions to reflect the votes of local readers, who will ultimately be able to express their preferences on its site. Content will include not just blogs but also photographs, puzzles, events, reader comments and other items of local interest. The paper is currently still testing its model, but its first issues are scheduled to hit the streets of Chicago and San Francisco today. It will ultimately be distributed to neighbourhood pickup points in A.M. and P.M. editions." - Springwise
See, read and/or print an issue here. Cool.

Magazines Evolve into Blogs = Magablogs

I started this blog in June 2007 for many reasons. I felt like I was suffocating creatively and too many people were trying to control my creative life. More about this here and here. One happy reason I started Liberty Post was because I saw it as a way to 'get published', 'be a publisher' and 'writer and photographer and stylist...yadda yadda yadda'....Case in point. Along my sidebar; I wrote this in June 2007:
Welcome to my Head Office. I am the Blogger: The Writer, Photographer, Illustrator, Art Director, Stylist, Production Director, Copy Girl, Publisher & Editor -in-Chief of this International Lifestyle Magablog. (Picture a staff meeting) I publish my 'Gallery of Goods' (images & ideas) every day, so please come back soon. Est. June 11th, 2007
And then I described these:
Liberty: The right and power to act, believe, or express oneself in a manner of one's own choosing.
Post: To place text on a Web site or in this case, a 'Magablog' - Post also means column, mail (email/internet), position (editor-in-chief) & inform.
Gallery of Goods: IMAGES + IDEAS
Magablog: a lifestyle magazine in a blog format.100% original editorial content. "Not on newstands now. Available everywhere online." No trees were used to produce Liberty Post. Subscriptions are FREE.
And then I penned my very own Manifesto:
MANIFESTO
We believe that...anything goes. You have the freedom to define your life & personal style and the license to change your mind always and often. Knowledge of our society & culture, it's places, people and their ideas (hence 'Gallery of Goods') empowers all of us. You are 'at-liberty' to create your world.
And then I gave up buying magazines as my New Year's 2009 resolution. (I've done fairly well considering I'd spend upwards of $300/month before!)
Now when I am at the check out I say to myself, 'I can see all this online.'
I now know that magazines are evolving into blogs and that they will now be called Magablogs. (yes, I will take credit for that too...if you let me, because I really think I was the first one to use it.) Ha! (and let's not get started again on newspapers..well, just one word of caution - if you work for one, start looking online.)
One of my first posts was this:
Blogs put the power of the press back in the hands of everyday people who for generations before would hand out pamphlets, send letters to the editor, and post flyers in the hopes of reaching a handful of readers who would hopefully understand their commentary, ideas and views. Often it was who you knew rather than what you had to say that was the determining factor in whether or not you got published. Just think of all the talent there is in our community. Now everyone can have a voice. "A bird in the hand (see the bird in her hand?) is worth two in the bush." This means it's better to have one blog of your own than to wait a lifetime, sending out several queries, waiting for someone to validate your work and maybe, just maybe: 'Yes' we'll publish it.As pioneers, bloggers are fulfilling the promise of the World Wide Web.
I think the blogger who has described this best is my good friend Corine of Hidden in France. She has written some valid points today. Have a read and let me know what you think.
