Though MAGAZINE's primary focus will be journalistic, it will also address other magazine-publishing matters of economic (management, marketing, circulation, production, research), technological, historical and social importance. In sum, MAGAZINE will explore the history, current state and future prospects of the American Magazine. Among the topics included will be: magazine editorial trends and practices; journalistic and management norms in magazine publishing; evolving magazine technologies (those currently in use and new ones envisioned); the economics of magazine publishing, including the economic factors influencing magazine content; the history of magazines; the role of magazines in social development; educational issues related to teaching magazine journalism; "laboratory" magazine-project concepts and resources; and studies and research exploring the issues above. The conference will be moderated by Professor David Abrahamson of New York University's Center for Publishing, where he teaches the editorial segments of the NYU Management Institute graduate Diploma Course in Magazine Publishing and the Executive Seminar in Magazine Editorial Management. He is also the author of two teaching texts, "The Magazine Writing Workbook" and "The Magazine Editing Workbook." The MAGAZINE Hotline is scheduled to begin October 1, 1990. Magazine publishing professionals, magazine journalism educators, scholars and students, and other individuals interested in magazine issues are encouraged to participate. The MAGAZINE Hotline is sponsored by New York University's Center for Publishing and Comserve (the online information and discussion service for the communication disciplines). Those interested in participating in MAGAZINE can subscribe free by: (1) From a Bitnet or Internet account, sending a one-line e-mail message to either COMSERVE@RPIECS or COMSERVE@VM.ECS.RPI.EDU with the following text: Join Magazine YourFirstName YourLastName [Example: Join Magazine Mary Smith] (2) From an MCI-Mail account, sending a message adressed as follows: [To:] COMSERVE (EMS) Internet COMSERVE@VM.ECS.RPI.EDU [No Subject] [Message text] Join Magazine YourFirstName YourLastName (3) From a Compuserve account, send the same one-line message (no subject) to: >INTERNET:COMSERVE@VM.ECS.RPI.EDU [Note: Include the indicated ">".] Further information about the MAGAZINE Hotline will be sent to subscribers when the Hotline begins.

Its purpose is the discussion of and exchange of information about Thomas Pynchon and his writing. Appropriate topics range from serious critical discussion through esthetic opinions to apocryphal stories and unsubstantiated sightings (or non-sightings). Simon Fraser University does not have a LISTSERVER, so I have kludged together a group with remote addresses. To join the list send a request to me (E-mail USERDOG1@SFU.BITNET or USERDOG1@CC.SFU.CA). Because of the nature of the kludge, I need a name, or pseudonym if you prefer, as well as your Email address. The list is unrestricted, its just that I have to add members manually. List address: PYNCHON@SFU.BITNET or PYNCHON@CC.SFU.CA Jody USERDOG1@SFU.BITNET or USERDOG1@CC.SFU.CA _______________________________________________________
