LETTER TO ROLLING STONES MAGAZINE & ALL NONBELIEVERS: MAGAZINE PRINT IS DEAD!
Dear RSM®, In response to the advertisement “MAGAZINES: The Power of Print®,” titled, “Will The Internet Kill Magazines? Did instant coffee kill coffee?” Our response is that we definitely need to talk because as the future holds, all printed magazines are DEAD or quickly coming to an end. Why? Although we agree that, “New technologies change many things. But not everything …you still read magazines. And you are far from alone. Rather than being displaced by ‘instant’ media, it would seem that magazines are an ideal compliment.” We also agree that “magazine[s] do what the Internet doesn’t. Neither obsessed with immediacy nor trapped by the daily news cycle, magazines promote deeper connections. They create relationships.” Yes! That is until the magazine is put down. This relationship is severed when the reader is forced to go outside the magazine by putting it down to connect with or buy from the artists, artists’ music and or products for sale. Then taking it one step further: when done reading one has the arduous task of deciding how to recycle the old magazines. Introducing Who’s Hot? & Who’s Not!®, the world’s first largest digital magazine and online source for ALL that is HOT in HipHop. Because we do agree that magazines “engage us in ways distinct from digital media,” but there is still a huge void that the first WHO’S HOT? & WHO’S NOT!® accomplishes. Specifically, we instantly transforms this newly formed deeply connected relationship created by our magazine into a reality by directly linking the reader to that artists or products. And did I mention we do all this while being 100% eco-friendly by being the first ALL digital HipHop Magazine! With us you can connect directly to Jay-Z after hearing samples of his up and coming new CD, DECODED. Or link directly to one of the hottest independent movements in San Diego called the NO CEO I’M MY OWN BOSS movement? You just click the link to see videos, download ringtones, and or buy the music, videos, DVDs, or apparel directly from them.
YES WE REVOLUTIONIZED HOTTNESS IN MANY WAYS!!! WITH WHWN®, THERE IS NOTHING BETWEEN YOU AND WHAT YOU WANT! For the annual costs of $29.99USD, you are granted access to Who’s Hot? & Who’s Not!® Mia Harris Editor
