Artrocker launches iPad edition
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 18 July 2012
Music magazine Artrocker has launched an iPad edition via Apple’s Newstand, with the current issue, and three other recent issues, all going live. As you’d expect, as well as the content from the print magazine, there are other bits and pieces available to iPad readers, including the option to listen to new music championed in the New Blood section.
Editor-in-Chief Tom Fawcett told CMU: “Thanks to tablet technology, magazines and books now face the same challenge that the music industry had to adapt to; magazines are now being bought digitally via Newsstand, Kindle etc. But there is a difference between digital music and digital publications”.
He continued: “With a digital magazine you still have the thing in your hand via a tablet. The packaging remains and is in fact enhanced, with an iPad edition the magazine positively glows at you. And you can do wonderful interactive stuff with an iPad edition – there’s more depth with videos and music all there at the tap of a screen. Unlike the music experience, digital actually makes magazines better, allowing us to do all the things we’ve, hitherto, only dreamt of”.
