There's been a slight quietness from Imagine of late as to which magazines it's going to continue publishing and in what forms. There's also a quietness about how many from Highbury have been offered jobs at Imagine. Given the interviews were supposed to be over a week ago now, that doesn't bode well.
I've tried phoning; I've tried emailing; I've tried instant messaging.
Quietness.
Some news has leaked though, as previous blog entries will show. There have been various assurances given that the Imagine versions of the surviving mags will appear at the end of this month or in March.
But there are a few questions still on my mind
a) has anyone from the old Highbury been offered a job yet?
b) have any of the former Highbury freelances (who weren't also Imagine freelances) heard from the editors of the new titles yet?
c) which magazines are going to continue?
d) are the new mags going to be pure Imagine, without any input from the former contributors, a mix, or a continuation?
If you have answers, could you leave a comment on the blog or email me at blog@the-word-is-not-enough.com? Let me know if you'd like the information published or not. I'm hoping it'll be good news for the ex-Highbury lot, at least.
Mary's had email from them about some copy she'd delivered for Web Designer. I've not heard anything about my Web Developer pieces yet...
