New territory: Multimedia Swiss online magazine launched
On Friday, the Swiss multimedia online magazine Neuland went live on the Internet for the first time. The digital magazine combines print, photography, radio, and video.
Neuland is published by an association of journalists Anita Hugi, Daniel Hitzig and Judith Stofer. With the monthly magazine, they want to offer a platform for freelance media professionals who are less and less able to publish in the traditional media, as was reported in a press release on Friday.
The online magazine relies on support from patrons and cultural foundations. For the time being, it only has a small budget, says Anita Hugi according to SDA. However, she hopes that the freelancers will be paid a fee for their contributions after six months. For the time being, the core group preparing Neuland is working on a voluntary basis.
The digital magazine can be consumed free of charge at Neuland-mag.net. However, the initiators are hoping for subscribers. One day, they will also be able to make exclusive use of previous issues stored in the archive. There will be no advertising.
One of the special features of the magazine, which is published on the first Friday of every month, is a documentary film that can be viewed as an online stream in TV quality for one month. Neuland's own music program can also be enjoyed as an online stream while watching a photo reportage, for example.
