Can anyone direct me toward publications (journals, magazines, newsletters, etc.) which focus on multimedia / interactive video technology and applications? I'd also be interested in knowing about conferences on these topics. Thanks! Ben Rubin ( rubin@media-lab.media.mit.edu )

MacWeek always seems to have interesting multimedia info. A great magazine that I just started getting is called New Media Age (the publisher's number is 415.573.5170 - and new media professionals (whatever that means) get it free). It appears that just about any computer magazine (geared towards Macs, Unix machines, or even graphics applications - which are most of the magazines that I get) has some section on multimedia. -diane (* (* (* (* (* (* (* (* (* (* (* (* (* (* (* (* (* (* (* (* (* (* (* (*diane schwartz ---> schwartz@ils.nwu.edu (* (* institute for the learning sciences (* (* northwestern university (* (* (* (*"Badges?!

Another timely publication is "Multimedia & Videodisc Monitor" (formerly The Videodisc Monitor) which is a relatively expensive newsletter ($277/yr). Although expensive, it covers the world of multimedia from the developers perspective with a great deal of insight and forethought. It's also been around for 8 years and is available at most univeristy libraries. Try writing or calling the editorial office for a sample copy. Multimedia & Videodisc Monitor P.O.

Earlier I posted info about NewMedia Age. My article quoted the April 91 issue's pricing scheme, which indicated that the magazine could be had for "free" to qualified "new media professionals." I received email from someone who had called NewMedia Age, and unfortunately, they are no longer giving them away. Oh well, I just got my June issue (which still says you can get it free) (magazine lead time is an amazing thing ;-). In case you missed the original post, here's the info for this pretty good (IMHO) magazine. NewMedia Age P.O.
