Gossip at your fingertips

If you love the latest celebrity gossip but you can't be bothered driving all the way to the supermarket to get your fix you're in luck. The Daiy Telegraph reported that three of America's top published magazines are going to introduce electronic versions of their printed magazines on an online website/store. It will work as a similar style to the iTunes, which allows quick and easy purchases of music, but instead of buying music consumers will be getting the latest entertainment news straight to their computers. As online shopping sites such as Ebay become increasingly more popular with society and printed magazine profits drop, it could be expected that this new venture will be one of success. The New York Observer has announced that John Squires, who is currently an executive at Time magazine, will be the chief executive for the new company. The software will also be produced so it can be used on iPhones and Blackberrys, broadening the target audience and increasing possible sales. However the new company will have to compete with all of the free entertainment news that is currently on the web, but with exclusive interviews and photographs they may be able to maintain the appeal of printed magazines just in an easier form.
