Innovations in Magazines 2010

As you might guess from its title, the Innovations in Magazines 2010 World Report summarizes many new directions magazines took last year as they continued spreading among platforms.

The report, assembled by The Innovation International Media Consulting Group  for the Federation of the Periodical Press lists some of the following innovations:

• "Mobizines":  Magazine apps for cell phones
• Embedded video:  Insertion of an ultra-thin monitor and speaker directly into the pages of a magazine.
• Development of "interactive digital narratives...combining a fusion of text, photos, infographics, video and audio."
