Topic: MacWEEK


In the News (Fri 17 Feb 12)

  
  Getting a Free Subscription to MacWeek.
MacWeek a.k.a MacLeak is a very useful weekly publication of new developments in the Macintosh world.
This is obviously so that MacWeek can charge a lot for advertising based on the very large purchasing clout of their subscribers.
Since I essentially was running a one-person operation at the time, I immediately offered the only other occupant of my office--Ralph the Gerbil--the position of Vice President, which he accepted, and I dutifully put his name on the form.

 Reader Feedback on the MacWeek name/focus change
I just received this response from the editor of MacWEEK, I wrote it after being infuriated at the stupid review of the Intergraph NT machine verses a G3,it was totally biased, and there was a big hairy Intergraph advetisement on the back of the very page Henry's review was on.
I am now confident that Macweek is subject to bribary and that the content of its articles and reviews are biased and slanted in favor of those who spend money advertising with the magazine.
In addition, MacWEEK has run news articles on a number of NT systems over the past half a year, as PC companies have started to target the content-creation space.

 MacEdition : Opinion : MacWEEK
MacWEEK wasn't the only magazine affected by this, but there were a series of, in hindsight, missteps.
MacWEEK became the Web-only MacWEEK.com and for a while, promised to carry on the tradition of its formerly print namesake.
MacWEEK appeared to take its readership for granted, and turned its back on those who made it what it was, muddling its focus and scope.

Indeed, being invited to receive that most coveted of all trade rags was proof that you had finally "arrived" in the Mac community.
MacWEEK broke stories, told it like it was, and was no one's lackey.
In contrast, the best of MacWEEK's staff had long sinced moved on to greener pastures -- most noticably Ric Ford's MacInTouch website, which has replaced its parent as the "paper of record" for Mac journalism, and is arguably the only site that can rightly be called a journalistic endeavor.

 MyMac.com: publishing since 1995
And while it may have lasted from 1998 to 2001, a run of close to four years, the web edition of MacWeek was never the same as the print version.
Gone was the main source of revenue for MacWeek, its countless pages of advertising, which was as important to the Macintosh professional as was the news and reviews section of the magazine.
I think that MacWeek was hamstrung from the fact that they were owned by Mac Publishing, L.L.C, a company who tends to buy it best competition (MacCentral) and water down its hard hitting journalism (MacWeek).

 Ziff, IDG combine Mac mags | CNET News.com
The combined workforce of Macworld, MacWeek, and MacUser currently numbers about 200, but some layoffs are likely, said Colin Crawford--the president and CEO of the new venture, Mac Publishing.
Consolidation in the Mac arena has occurred over the past couple of years, and the market's advertising revenue is not large enough to support a number of publications, Crawford said.
He expects MacWeek to continue to attract 100,000 readers weekly, while Macworld which currently has a circulation of about 625,000 and MacUser, which has about 525,000 readers, will have a combined readership of about 800,000.

I subscribed to develop after reading the MacWeek article that pointed out what a good deal it was, especially with respect to the Developer CD Series.
The decision not to supply the system software on the CD accompanying develop was made independently of the MacWeek column and before it appeared.
The timing was unfortunate, but it's not easy, or particularly practical, to reverse company decisions based on what MacWeek chooses to publish.

I'm not into "gotcha' journalism", spending my time and efforts gratuitously digging for dirt, but I do think that the journalist's responsibility is to, as George Orwell put it, "have a talent for noticing unpleasant facts" and reporting them when found.
Thank you MacWEEK for the moral support, and I'm glad somebody had the financial muscle to stand up to Apple's bullying attitude.

On the opening day of MacWorld Expo in San Francisco, I'd like to make a small Mac-related announcement, certainly nothing of the magnitude that Apple will announce later today, but in our world, it's an important development.
MacWEEK, a unit of Ziff-Davis Publishing, has adopted Frontier as its content management platform for its www.macweek.com website.
And it's a good investment, because, as I've been saying for so many years, there are lots of important publishing-oriented things you can do on Macs that you can't do anywhere else.

While Apple may wish "it had waited for the 110 before shipping anything called Newton" as described in the story "Newton design improves with updated MessagePad" (MacWEEK, March 7, Page 1), there are limits to what can be done.
It is simply not possible to engineer the improvements incorporated into the 110 unless the problems are first discovered by people actually using the 100.

MacWEEK will always have a place in our memories - the white lies seemingly everyone used on the free subscription forms, the Mac the Knife columns from when rumors felt important, and the impact MacWEEK editor Robert Hess's death had on the entire industry.

 TidBITS: eMediaweekly Folds After Five Months
It wasn't around for long: Mac Publishing first announced that it would be transmogrifying MacWEEK into the cross-platform eMediaweekly back in May of 1998, near the end of the recent Apple death spiral.
The plans to move from MacWEEK to a less Macintosh-specific publication had been in the works long before the May announcement, and although Steve Jobs had preemptively unveiled the iMac less than two weeks before, no one could have predicted that Apple would reverse its ailing fortunes so quickly.
The move to eMediaweekly was a business decision, and though it looked bad for Apple to have MacWEEK go away, replacing it with eMediaweekly was a softer blow.
