Is SPIN really circling the drain?

xp No you don't understand - all those publications only do phoners with bands.

Before TrueCar, Steve held titles of COO, CFO and CAO at then-industry-leading online community GeoCities and oversaw the online community through its IPO and landmark $5 billion sale to Yahoo!

maybe one day spin can reach the heights of geocities

That Bleecker Bobs piece was excellent.

All CEOs are Col. Cargills in these bad times

i know ILX is Pedantland, but when I said "reported music feature," I meant long stories with multiple sources like our feature on the final days of Bleecker Bob's or our look at music in the prison system, not phoners with bands.

makes sense. that music warden article is fascinating.

features on a record store going out of business and music in the prison system, weird that vision didn't pay off

I enjoyed reading that prison one just now

"Spin Magazine, which shuttered its print edition in December 2012, is coming back to print. Hansen believes there’s a four-issue-per-year model that he thinks he can make work."

Can I send these fucking Car & Drivers back and get the rest of my SPIN sub?

hahaha

Hansen said Lucid is setting up the company to get into the craze that’s sweeping the industry: advertising content. But unlike most other media properties, Spin Media’s version of advertising content will have editorial doing the heavy lifting for brands.

“We’ll never win a Pulitzer Prize,” Hansen said. “Celebrity content is a commodity. The key is what you do with it. You have to delineate between what’s edit content and sponsored content, but do that in a way with a distinction that does not decrease the editorial experience.”

This service, called “Spin Productions,” is a dedicated creative team that’s integrated with editorial. When it comes to advertising, the company believes if a publisher can contextually integrate advertising with content, higher levels of performance, and, yes, higher CPMs will follow.

ugh god gross

Q: Is SPIN really circling the drain?
A: Yes.

SPIN is the drain

"We'll never win a Pulitzer Prize" -- truer words have never been spoken

maybe they'll start a pulitzer for best sponsored content

"Celebrity content is a commodity. The key is what you do with it" = "We devalue real writing. We are talentless advertising-hungry hacks who will run this publication into the ground as fast as possible and then cash out"

Doing print issues again after they tossed the editor and announced their intent to "contextually integrate advertising with content"...No thanks Mr. TruCar/Geo-Cities guy

"So last year, I wanted to get an original shirt and this guy was getting rid of all his college shit," says Lexi McGruder, owner of this incredible T-shirt from the original Lollapalooza festival. "I was born in 1992. My parents had me when they were 20 and they went. I looked it up online and it's going for $75."

Wow, I bought one for $10 in 2000!
