Moguls past and present

Article Abstract:

The director of publications at the South Street Seaport Museum and editor of Seaport opines that press owners of the past gave more importance to the newspaper content than the media moguls of today. She opines that press barons of yesteryears had empathy for the common man and had political ideas to propagate, while the current media moguls sourly lack a guiding vision. She estimates that the three decades following the Civil War gave birth to the present media moguldom, and adds that the Scripps family founded the first great newspaper chain in 1873.

Magazines: a past in paper and a future on the Web

Article Abstract:

It is clear that magazine publishing is undergoing significant changes under the influence of the World Wide Web. It is likely that there will be a strong trend towards content specialization, with many magazine Web sites serving many different audiences. It will become increasingly uncommon for magazine Web sites to be exactly the same as the hard-copy print version of the magazine. The magazine form has proved very adaptable in the past, and this will place it in a strong position for the future.

Fencing in the past: Budapest's Statue Park Museum

Article Abstract:

Budapest's socialist statues were removed when communism collapsed in the early 1990s, and collected in the open-air Statue Park Museum, on the outskirts of the city. The Soviet Union consolidated its political, economic, and military rule over East-Central Europe in the 1940s with an aggressive ideological campaign. Rewriting history raises questions about who has the authority to change a country's collective memory.
