Online Magazine

By John B. Emmerson III

An e-magazine shares a few aspects with a blog and also with online newspapers, but can generally be distinguished by its approach to editorial control.E-books that are part of the World Wide Web, that is, all or part of a web site, are also said webzines.

Ezine is a more generic term commonly used to small magazines and newsletters circulated by any electronic way, as example, by email. A number of community groups may use the terms cyberzine and hyperzine when referring to electronically distributed resources.

Most of the large print-publishers now offer digital reproduction of their print magazine titles through various online services for a payment. These service providers also refer to their collections of these digital set-up appliances as online magazines, and occasionally as digital magazin.Online magazines representing matters of attention to specialists in for academic subjects, science, trade or industry are typically referred to as online journals.

A lot of general interest online magazines offer free access to all aspects of their online content although some publishers have opted to require a subscription fee to entrance premium online article.Online magazines produce revenue based on targeted hunt ads to web-site visitors, banner ads, affiliations to retail web sites, classified advertisements.

The original e-magazines,ezines and disk magazines, due to their low cost and early non-mainstream targets, may be seen as a disruptive technology to traditional publishing houses. The high cost of print publication and large web readership has encouraged these publishers to hold the World Wide Web as a marketing and content delivery system and another medium for delivering their advertiser's messages.

In the late 1990s ezine publishers started adapting to the interactive qualities of the Internet instead of cloning magazines on the web. Publishers of traditional print titles and entrepreneurs with an eye to a possible readership in the millions started publishing online titles.In the 2000s, some webzines began appearing in a printed format to complement their online versions.
