Why CNET is turning to print

Lindsay Turrentine and Connie Guglielmo of CNET write about why the tech news site has decided to launch a magazine.

Turrentine and Guglielmo write, “We’ve grown up with the Web and understand its magic. We know the power of online photographs, slideshows, deep and trusted reviews, and broadcast-quality Web videos. Our work reaches tens of millions of readers each month in all the ways consumers expect to find information — on computers, tablets, and smartphones.

“So it just makes sense that we’d take our expertise and deliver it through another medium we know our readers care about: print. Today we are proud to introduce the new CNET Magazine, available now in the United States and Canada.

“Surprised? That’s the point. While others are running away from print, we’re embracing it to do what we’ve always done — tell stories in fun and compelling new ways. Our quarterly magazine showcases original work you’ll find only in the magazine, each piece reported and crafted by CNET’s talented writers.”
