Inc. magazine announced an experiment it’s doing: For a month it’s going to be a virtual business magazine.
It’s closing the offices and it’s staff will be working remotely, which is no easy feat considering a lot of what the staff does, such as passing printed pages back and forth.
“As the experiment progresses, we’ll be blogging about our experiences here on a regular basis. We also plan to post video interviews with experts and consultants who study virtual work. Then in the April issue of the magazine, we’ll publish a definitive piece on virtual work — a look at pros and cons of running a highly-dispersed team (namely, ours), plus, tips on how to work virtually that any start-up or small business can use.
“As much as this is an experiment in remote work, it’s also an experiment in open-source journalism. Working remotely is never easy, and we may face particular challenges coming from an industry where it is still common for an editor, a designer, a photo editor, and a writer to gather around a table to look at a page proof.”
