This is great news. JPEG and Vibe both get second chances. Who else is coming back from the brink?

@Donnar Party,
Robyn left Vibe just before they shut down.

Does this mean the recession is over? Seriously, it’s good to see someone making a forward-looking investment.

It will be interesting to see how they handle the quarterly print and the regular Web versions. I’ve long thought that was a strong option for magazines to combine the best of both worlds. To do that right you almost have to view the print and Web versions as separate entities — sharing a common look/feel but each having unique content.

Let’s hope they don’t succumb to the temptation to view the print version as an alternate advertising vehicle — i.e., toss in a bunch of crap that has already been published on the Web and try to roll the advertisers for extra money. Sorry, I’m being cynical again.

Probably an early indicator will be how they staff-up. If the print version doesn’t have at least a small dedicated staff it’s probably going to wind up being something tossed together over a long weekend every quarter.

I hope it makes a great come back. I remember when it first launched and my friend, the charismatic, PE George Pitts phoned me.

A brilliant place for photographers to show their talent.

Lets root for them.

Maybe being quarterly for print and daily for the web makes more sense.

Do the boring, but necessary stuff on the web and good long form stories with di-no-mite photos for the print edition.

Done right the quarterly magazine could become a collectors book.

Just a thought.

Wonder if Robyn F. will still be the PE?
