Video Watchdog is still being printed and distributed to retailers and subscribers worldwide. Print is our legacy and it's still the backbone of our business. But we're excited about adapting our work to a digital template. It's the best possible advertisement for the print edition while also expanding upon it in wonderful ways.
Here are just a few of the benefits that come with digital publishing:
The Price is Right! – Digital is easily downloadable, and with our crazy business plan, each new issue is absolutely free while it is new! Now we can introduce unlimited numbers of film and home video lovers into our pages, instantly and without cost, removing all price and distribution barriers between the reader, our product and its message.
Searchable! – Each Digital Edition is fully searchable so readers can find what they need quickly. Once the complete VW Digital Archive is unveiled, our Flash version will also allow you to search across all editions, through hundreds of articles and thousands of reviews!
Bonus Content! – While our print edition is limited to 80 pages, a digital Watchdog is limitless! It can include exclusive bonus content — extended articles, additional reviews, and more advertising than we can accommodate in print at a fraction of the cost. We can also add to our back issues over time, and your copies will be automatically updated — reinvigorating almost 25 years of material into a living, growing, active body of work!
Interactive! – Face it. Digital is cool! Click and watch a film clip, see pictures morph into each other in a slide show, tap thumbnail graphics to see extra stills, play music, and see your own video letters appear in our pages! Now you can interact with Video Watchdog like you never have before!
Portable & Space-saving! – Read or play the issues anywhere, with or without an internet connection. You can choose to download the video content or stream it later to save space. We estimate 176 issues to be under 8 gig when streamed. Run out of space? Delete and download again any time. It's in the cloud.
Beautiful! – It's a real pleasure to see the editions on a big computer monitor but we think you'll love it on a tablet. Zoom in or out, change to portrait or landscape, highlight text, mark your place with bookmarks, and scroll through thumbnail views to find your pages. The photos are high resolution, too. But best of all, it still looks exactly like the print version!
Is there a way I can just pay to subscribe to get VW online? Thanks!

I assume you mean to order the print version, because the new digital online format is free.
ReplyDeletewill there be a place to keep track of new additions and updates to old issues and/or a notice when the digital version will feature longer or additional stuff than the print version of new issues?
ReplyDeleteYes, I think there better be. Right now the only updates are fixes like moving Play buttons around or making the videos play smoother. But as we add content, I'd like to keep them logged into an appropriate area.
