The future has arrived! FLYPmedia.com

While traditional media forms are slowly packing their bags to rest in peace, new media outlets are already occupying the infinity of internet becoming some of the most powerful new faces of the journalism.

First fully integrated multimedia publication online – is the description that FLYPmedia.com gives itself. The idea is that they use every existing tool including video, audio, graphics, animation, text and of course photography to create “live’ articles that will help reader dive in and become multi skilled consumers of the news.

Radio we listen; Television we watch; Magazines we read; FLYPmedia we experience.

Jim Gaines is the former editor of Time and People who now is in charge of FLYPmedia, with team of 12 designers, journalists and of course flash experts who push journalism into another level. But is this really the future?

Absolutely!  By 2010 we are all on the same page with the idea that internet is the hope not only for journalism but for many other institutions.

Quote: “It’s a good place to check out stories that push boundaries and are relevant to Americans today” But obviously as being one of the pioneers of its type there are many questions public has – what is the business model? how does it operate?

When life magazine came out, every issue of it was like piece of art. Now it is  piece of art for museum! Who knows perhaps 20 years later FLYPmedia.com will become one of the oldest and least popular online publications, but for now it is more than clear that in its unique way FLYPmedia is putting a standard of what new era of journalism means.

On the other hand, there are demanding people who want everything at the same time and can complain about certain areas of FLYPmedia.

Is it using standard codes of ethics of journalism? which 10 laws of interactive storytelling do they apply most? where is this taking us?

Instead of asking questions, just go to FLYPmedia.com enjoy the quality that speaks for itself and remember it is only one out of hundreds of multimedia integrated magazines we are going to be observing in the future.
