What Pro Video Magazines Do You Read? at DVinfo.net

Chris Ficek · September 19th, 2009, 06:47 PM

Just curious as to what other pros are reading when they're not on DVInfo, on paper that is. I always read HDVideo Pro and American Cinematorgapher and an occasional flip at the newsstand through the pro-sumer Videomaker but what else of value is anybody reading?

Broadcast Engineering and few others I can not think of. They are all free so it doesnt hurt to just sign up for a bunch.

Mitchell: a few years ago things changed for those of us up here in Canada with regards to the free subscription on the big pro magazines. I regularly received Video Systems, Videography, Government Video and Broadcast Engineering until about 03/04 when the publisher(s) indicated that international subscribers would no longer qualify for the free subscription, which is unfortunate as I used to read them cover to cover (sometimes until the covers LITERALLY fell off) for my own information and shared mags and info alike with clients and colleagues. This of course INCLUDED product reviews, which I ASSUME should appeal to the advertisers.

I can tell you in all honesty that I have purchased, or consulted on purchase of over one million dollars worth of equipment over the past 11 years. I feel that this action to exclude the internationals from free subscription was terribly short sighted.

I stick to whatever's on the table at work, so usually BE or Videography... Sometimes the B&H catalog too...

We've got mags in Australia (such as Broadcast Engineering) and I don't read any of 'em. I just stick to the internet where the pace of information change is much faster.
