Haymarket hangs on to hard copy Printweek in India

I am a bit late with this news. Haymarket has sold the UK apsect of Printweek to the Mark Allen Group. I had thought they might take it online but instead the new direction is as a fortnightly. My first impression is that the new context is not as web friendly as much of Haymarket. There is a significant base in journals. But it seems the website will continue. The Indian version of Printweek however stays with Haymarket. This may because they see a longer term future for print until bandwidth catches up. Not sure if they have a title about mobile devices. Printweek started in 1958 according to the Printweek India website. So it must have been fairly central to Haymarket at the time. At first it was called Lithoweek, then litho became assumed. According to the Wikipedia "Haymarket Publishing , due to its growing presence in online media and live events, was rebranded as Haymarket Media Group in 2007". Without Printweek as a UK brand the London offices will presumably continue to move online and adjust their editorial views on the future of print. But not in India. Even though they know more than most about how to format an e book , there is still a future for print. If you have half an hour listen to Mark Coles on newspapers, part of a series on media. Scroll down to 11th June. What will this mean for IPEX 2014 ? London media conversation is moving towards Cross Media though print is still part of this. The global aspect will be more interesting than ever. Some reason must be on offer not to wait for a print show in Mumbai.

3D Printshow, my comment on Repost

Previous post selected from suggested links sent to me as email. I guess as long as the right words are in this blog then the relevant news will turn up. The 3D shows are in different places but before March next year so part of the approach to IPEX. So the time aspect makes sense if you think that IPEX has started. Here in Exeter we have already had several 3D items and one complete show as art in the Phoenix Arts Centre. On the Wild Show, Phonic FM, we have had guests explaining the technology including scanning objects. So we will probably come back to this. The hellospidersblog may go off topic in IPEX terms. One idea is to scan the Colston Hall in Bristol and move a scale clone to Exeter bus station. Anyway back to Repost. This is working ok.

Repost, translation of Konica Minolta, seems to be about measuring colour in 3D

More comment about this on Hello Spiders dotcom. The post from repost worked ok unless you don't understand Spanish. I got an email this morning with suggestions based on the content of the two blogs I have linked to Repost, this one and Hello Spiders. So spiders, listen up. This is ok. Konica Minolta will definitely be at IPEX 2014. This news is definitely Cross Media. Search on terms related to Cross Media also welcome. Not sure if the spiders respond to bold type.

Updating this blog for 2014 , reposting stuff, scope of Cross Media

Jeff Jarvis on Buzzmachine has done a demo of how to use Repost so I am trying it out. The instructions for Squarespace are a bit confusing so I am concentrating on Blogger for now. ( hellospiders.com has a wide scope)

This blog continues as IPEX 2002 which may be a decade or so too late, or may be a year too soon. I still think things are moving quickly. Also the IPEX event is getting significant not just for the companies that will be there but also for the ones that won't. Apple and Adobe seem a good place to start. More later.

Meanwhile I am exploring Exeter and city walks. see hello spiders for updates. I hope to document a walk from King's Cross to Islington Green to the Olymic Site then to ExCEL. Mostly by canal or river. The final bit is still vague. It may be just imagined in Exeter at the moment. Getting from King's Cross to Islington Green is clear enough so no problems before the Cross Media event. ( apart from how to link to the Elephant and Castle. Not sure of the dates for the LCC Futures )

So next post, plan A is to link to other sources.

Scope of Cross Media just the same as IPEX but at another time, to be determined.
