Slate to offer Podcasts

THE ONLINE MAGAZINE SLATE WILL start offering podcasts of two or three stories per day starting July 15, and has snared DaimlerChrysler as a launch sponsor. The company is expected to promote vehicles in the Mercedes-Benz C-Class product line on the podcasts.

Ads will appear at the beginning of each podcast, and will have prominent positions throughout Slate. "Certain Slate stories each day are going to be podcasts," said Cliff Sloan, the online magazine's publisher. "We know that Slate users are early adopters of technology, so we think we have a great audience for podcasts."

Sloan said that initially, the podcasts will only include Slate stories, but the plan is to add stories from other publications as well. Chrysler has been an enthusiastic supporter of online media (See "Chrysler Sponsors Yahoo! Radio," in today's OnlineMediaDaily). "They were excited about exploring a new and interesting technology for advertising," Sloan said. Part of the reason, no doubt, is that the online magazine has an affluent and influential readership. Under WPNI's ownership, Slate is sold as an individual property. Until January, the magazine was owned by Microsoft Corp., which offered it to advertisers as part of the MSN network.

Hope Springs Eternal for Publishers, but Pace of New Magazines Slackens

IF PRINT IS, AS SOME digital pundits suggest, a dying medium, American publishers have not gotten that message. They launched 32 new consumer magazines during the second quarter of 2005. While that may pale in comparison with the number of websites, blogs and other digital publications introduced during the quarter, it nonetheless suggests there still is a robust marketplace for new magazines. The new magazine launch estimates, which are part of a new tracking study launched last quarter by the Magazine Publishers of America, will be released later today, and include new titles from some of the nation's biggest publishers, as well as some upstarts.

Among the biggies, are new magazines launched by American Media (Celebrity Living), Conde Nast (Men's Vogue), Hearst (Weekend ), Primedia (MotorTrend Classic), Reader's Digest Association ( Everyday with Rachael Ray) and Weider Publications (Mom and Baby).

The new titles, which range in editorial focus and type, include 12 lifestyle magazines, nine magazines targeting women, nine titles targeting the affluent market and four fashion magazines. The eclectic mix also includes a magazine targeting female poker players, a fashion magazine for men, and the first lifestyle magazine crafted especially for veterinarians.
