A little over a month ago, Electronic Gaming Monthly's original founder, Steve Harris, announced that he had reacquired the rights to the magazine from Ziff Davis. However, he did not disclose what form the reincarnated EGM would take, although the press release mentioned both print and online-based publication.
Well, now a little more light has been shed on the future of EGM. In an interview with Publishing Executive, Steve Harris discussed how the new EGM would bridge the gap between print and online mediums, and that EGM would rely on the gray areas between the two.
"First and foremost, we're planning to incorporate digital content within the magazine," Harris told Publishing Executive. "This includes professionally-produced video, audio and other types of content. We're also going to make this content fully transportable."
