This is for a Speaker in the category for a Beginner audience.
Silicon HIlls News did a successful Kickstarter Campaign to create its first 32 page full color paper magazine for South by Southwest Interactive. The digital age made it possible to secure financing through advertisers and other supporters on Kickstarter, to get the magazine printed locally and to hire a layout and design team in Dallas. The entire project was completed in less than three weeks following the Kickstarter campaign and distributed at SXSW Interactive.
I have never produced a magazine. But anyone can do it today easily and affordably.
The digital age makes it possible for online news or other niche media sites to easily create affordable paper products to share for promotional and marketing campaigns.
I will do a Prezi presentation outlining the steps to go from digital to paper and provide a handout on tips and tricks to doing a paper magazine in combination with running an online news site.
How does your submission contribute to the diversity of the conference?
I'm a woman who runs a technology news startup in Austin and San Antonio, Texas. I consider myself to be a pioneer in the new media landscape.
