1990: Plugged-in Publishing:
Major media companies rejected Louis Rossetto and Jane Metcalfe's idea of a digital-age magazine. So the husband-and-wife editors got backing elsewhere and in 1993 launched Wired magazine. In 15 months, circulation hit 175,000. Wired was a new-age publishing phenomenon. Its Internet spinoff, HotWired, came the following year. Said Metcalfe: "Wired is about the digital revolution. HotWired is the digital revolution." |
