A report from AdAge claims that Google News will soon be going through some more changes. According to the report, Google News is getting a “new design” and will “incorporate elements of the [Google Play] Newsstand app and YouTube.” The new Google News will reportedly be powered by Google’s stripped-down, quick-loading AMP technology and is expected to launch at Google I/O 2018.

Google has apparently been talking to publishers about the design, and AdAge quotes one anonymous publishing executive as saying, “It’s a consolidation of all the ways you can interact with news on Google…There are a lot of Google services where you find news, and what they’re trying to do is bring it all under one brand.”

A Google News redesign is surprising considering that the current design is less than a year old. It’s unclear if the current design is just being tweaked to incorporate YouTube and Play Newsstand or if the whole thing is being scrapped and rebuilt. The report also mentions that Google News will get a new app.

Enlarge (credit: Texture)

Apple announced today that it signed an agreement to acquire the digital magazine service Texture, which serves articles from more than 200 magazines digitally on iOS, Windows, Amazon, and Android devices for a flat monthly fee.

Apple has acquired the entire company, including staff, and has assured users that the Android version of the app will still be supported. The price of the acquisition was not disclosed.

Texture was founded in 2010 and was formerly called Next Issue until it rebranded in 2015. It was chiefly founded and owned by a group of major magazine publishers, but it also raised $ 50 million from other investors. It launched during a time when the magazine industry harbored some optimism that the iPad and other tablets would be popular platforms for premium subscriptions as an alternative to the Web, which was dominated by tech companies like Google. As digital magazines like News Corporation’s The Daily folded, it became clear that future wasn’t panning out.

But Vanity Fair staff were left blushing after eagle-eyed fans spotted a massive mistake on the Annie Leibovitz photograph gracing the cover.

Each of the stars was photoshopped to look their best – but one of the celebrities found themselves altered in a way they may not be happy with.

Reese Witherspoon, 41, wears a champagne coloured sequin dress with features a daring thigh split.

Leaning in to Oprah Winfrey, 63, Reese’s legs are clearly on display.

But she doesn’t have just two legs for the cover – unfortunately, Reese has been left with three.

The magazine clearly decided to photoshop two images together in which Reese takes two different poses.

But they forgot about her moving legs, leaving the star looking like she has an extra limb.

This is not the only photoshop fail in the lauded Hollywood issue of the magazine.

Inside photos show Reese and Oprah laughing as Tom Hanks, 61, messes around for the camera.

But yet again, two images have clearly been photoshopped together, and this time it is Oprah who suffers.

The media mogul is left with not one, not two, but three hands in the picture.

Two hands rest on her lap, while another can bee seen around Reese’s waist.

Vanity Fair covers often make headlines around the world, although normally not for negative reasons.

The magazine was the first to photograph Caitlyn Jenner after her transition in 2015.

They also got an exclusive interview with Meghan Markle just months after news of her relationship with Prince Harry broke in 2016.

The Suits actress spoke about being in love with the Prince and hinted at their engagement.

It’s country superstar, The Voice co-host, and Gwen Stefani squeeze Blake Shelton. He seems very nice! And is handsome? In an unoffensive, surburban high school football coach sort of way? But, y’know, we’re all friends here, and “sexiest man ALIVE,” like out of all the men who are currently drawing breath, is a wee bit of a stretch.

Don’t believe us? Let’s see what the Twitter has to say.

Many digital publishers are struggling to scrape by in an era when banner ads trade for pennies and social networks control distribution.

Maybe it’s time for magazines to make a comeback? 

That’s been the bet at Issuu, a company that has been helping entreprenuers publish digital magazines for over a decade. Now Issuu is rolling out a new product via which these publishers can charge readers for digital subscriptions.

According to Issuu CEO Joe Hyrkin, there are now 35 million indy publications using Issuu’s free tools, which let creators put togther slick magazines on niche topics ranging from craft brewing to knitting to cycling. 

In aggregate, these ‘digi-zines‘ reach 100 million unique readers each a month globally who consume close to a billion pages of content, Hyrkin said. Issuu pulls in revenue from selling some publishers premium tools and services.

To date, Issuu publications could make money from selling ads or weaving e-commerce into their magazines. But now, they can sell individual issues or monthly subscriptions at the price of their chosing. 

You might ask, why the magazine format? Wasn’t the rise of the blogosphere supposed to enable these kind of narrow publishers?

“I think its an indictment of that system, meaning digital ads, programmatic,” said Hyrkin. “Blogs are often one page, and are random in terms of cadence. Consumers don’t know when or where content is coming from.”

Meanwhile, he argues that in a news feed, sea-of-headlines digital media era, magazine-style packaging still has an appeal.

“A collection, a curated body of work is much more interesting,” said Hyrkin. “And five years ago, if you wanted to do a publication like this, you had to get get blessed by [legendary Vogue editor] Anna Wintour. Now, if you are a fashion publisher today, you have access to a set of digital tools to put together a world class digital publication.”

For example, one breakout Issuu publication is Sweet Paul, a Brooklyn-based food and crafting magazine that was born out of a blog founded in 2007 by Paul Lowe, a traditional publishing veteran, and his partner Paul Vitale.

Started as a side project, it evolved into a full time job for both Pauls , and eventually led to a deal to print and distribute copies of the digital magazine with the retailer Anthropologie.

“We’ve been building an audience that is young and tech savvy,” said Vitale. And the Issuu platform provides “the ability to have so much control.”

“We’ve lost a lot of big magazines over the past couple of years,” he added. “I think there’s a lot of room for magazines like ours. You can have a really small team. And you don’t have to lay people off because we lost an ad.”

]]> https://briefnews.eu/magazines-are-making-a-surprising-comeback-in-digital-form/feed/ 0 A media company known for supermarket magazines is upending the digital publishing model https://briefnews.eu/a-media-company-known-for-supermarket-magazines-is-upending-the-digital-publishing-model/ https://briefnews.eu/a-media-company-known-for-supermarket-magazines-is-upending-the-digital-publishing-model/#respond Wed, 26 Jul 2017 21:24:31 +0000 http://briefnews.eu/a-media-company-known-for-supermarket-magazines-is-upending-the-digital-publishing-model/ Kim KardashianBauer Xcel Media US wants to be at the forefront of using data and analytics.
The US digital offshoot of the German media giant encourages its editors and sales teams to collaborate
Bauer editors take into account what content will make the most money from ads when making decisions on what to cover.

Editors are supposed to think about what their readers are interested in. They’re not traditionally supposed to think about whether their content is going to make the company money.

But things are different at Bauer Xcel Media US.

The company is an offshoot of the German media giant Bauer Media Group. It manages the US web operations for the traditional magazines such as InTouch Weekly, Life&Style and Woman’s World, as well as several digital-only brands.

Unlike many publishers, Bauer Xcel encourages its editorial and sales teams to share intel.

And while the sales side never tells anybody what stories to write about, Bauer editors are frequently in touch with their revenue-focused counterparts on what topics of coverage might be ripe for more ad sales revenue, and how different story layouts and formats might help the company make more money from ads at a given moment, for example.

That sort of thinking would be sacrilege ous at many old school media organizations, where the edit and sales teams may rarely interact, if not enjoy a degree of sibling rivalry. 

Historically, media organizations put walls up between these two groups (figuratively and sometimes literally) to preserve editorial independence. The idea roughly is that journalists should cover the news without being influenced by whatever companies are paying to advertise with their media outlet.

“We don’t have the same church and state issues,” said Mike Shaughnessy, vice president of revenue.

This comes at a time when many traditional media companies are struggling to translate their once profit-rich offline businesses to digital media, where outside of giants like Google and Facebook many companies struggle to survive on typically lower-priced web ads. The philosophy at Bauer could provide some clues about the future of the digital publishing business, a future where “how an article monetizes” becomes part of a journalists’ purview. 

“We do have a close relationship,” said Kate Spies, Bauer Xcel Media’s vice president for editorial and audience development, speaking of her team’s connection with ad sales executives. “We try to think about our content from end-to-end. We have to think about whether an article is on brand, whether people are going to interact and whether there is demand [from advertisers].”

Bauer’s digital ad space is almost entirely sold via ad exchanges and other programmatic outlets. The company’s magazines do sell ads directly, but the Bauer Xcel team is primarily managed separately from the print operations.

That setup means that the Bauer team thinks differently than print people, according to Spies and Shaughnessy. Both say that data and analytics are core to their decision-making.

That means that Bauer’s edit teams throw out sales terms like “RPM value,” or revenue per thousand users. The company even scores every piece of content on whether it has a high potential to be “click bait” – that is, a headline that might get people to click but not actually stick around, and will probably get penalized by Google or Facebook’s algorithm.

“Scale for scale’s sake is not where we want to be,” said Spies. “A naked celebrity may be the best piece of content on the internet, but you can be sure that media buyers won’t be putting Disney Cruiseline ads next to that content.”

Bauer Xcel Media's editorial relies heavily on analyticsBauer XcelAnd perhaps more radically, each piece of content gets a “monetization score” which editors and sales teams use to judge whether an article or video or photo is likely to pay out. Editors are also well versed in how platforms like Facebook Instant Articles and Google AMP are resonating with readers, and paying advertisers.

magazine standShutterstock/bibiphotoIn practice, that can mean that Shaughnessy might let Spies and her team know that there is a lot of demand at a given moment for a certain type of mobile ad. In that case, Spies’ editors could elect to use a different template to post a story, which wouldn’t change that content but would helps Bauer sell more of these ads.

Such a move can help a content package bring in 25% more revenue than a standard presentation, according to Shaughnessy.

“We don’t have the same church and state issues,” said Shaughnessy.

Similarly, if one of the Bauer sites is generating high ad rates from digital advertisers at a given time, the sales team can urge the edit team to try and send more traffic that site’s way. 

Shaughnessy and Spies last year realized there was growing reader and advertiser interest in heath content. Since Bauer’s sites only have one to three staffers pumping out up to 15 stories a day, they need assurances that new types of content are worth pursuing. Based on their data sharing, they ended up rolling out a permanent health content channel on sites for First For Women and Woman’s World, which has taken off.

The company says it’s US operations are profitable.

“The entire company works towards the same goals. They don’t vary by department,”said Spies. “This means that everyone is pushing ahead to achieve the same numbers. Audience, revenue and profit.”

If you live in an apartment building, but still want to enjoy grilling meats and veggies out on your patio, this Char-Broil electric grill can get the job done for $ 110.

We’ve seen deals on some similar products in the past, but few can match this model’s 320 square inch grilling surface, which is large enough to cook 8-12 hamburgers at once. Obviously, an electric grill will never replicated the smokey flavors of charcoal, but most of the fun of grilling is just being outdoors with a beer in your hand, and this allows apartment dwellers to enjoy the same experience.

You’ve probably noticed that mules have taken over all of your favorite bars, and now you can serve them at home with a pair of highly-rated hammered copper mugs for $ 22.

You probably looked at that image up there and laughed.

That means you don’t have to remove the entire fixture, or even find a microUSB cable.

Maybe you are moving and need some images to help sell your home? If you have ever attempted to take interior images of your living space, then you likely know that it’s often difficult to get great results.

Luckily, we found a killer tips video for you from the team over on the Mango Street Lab YouTube Channel. In this video, the squad goes over five quick and easy-to-implement tips for taking and making the best interior images of your space possible. So, all you realtors, homeowners, and Airbnb operators will want to take note.

The first tip is one that is very easy to not think about while you are in a space, and that is to simply to shoot from the hip — or waist height rather. According to the video, this helps to even out the perspective of the frame and more accurately portray the environment of the room.

Another tip is to fully consider the subject of the image. Most interior images are not going to be focused on people, but rather on furniture or other items of interest in the room. So decided on the one you want to focus on and compose your image around that.

For situations where you will be wanting to shoot primarily with natural light, the Mango Street Lab squad suggests aiming to shoot between noon and 3 p.m. for the best lighting indoors. Even with the natural light, though, it is recommended to use an LED panel or reflector to help fill in some of the shadows and even up the lighting inside when the light is particularly harsh.
