ABC Radio National launches first tablet magazine ‘White Paper’
ABC Radio National has launched the first tablet magazine to be published by the national broadcaster in a move that seeks to draw in an influential audience across all platforms.
White Paper, a monthly magazine launched on Friday, includes feature articles written by Radio National journalists drawing from the interviews and content created for their radio programs.
The magazine precedes the release of a longform tablet app to be launched by ABC Innovation later this year.
Michael Mason, acting manager of Radio National and group program director of ABC Radio, said the tablet magazine was a natural step for the station, moving its discussions from on air to listeners’ tablets and showcase the best in longform content for the month.
It makes sense really. My 80+yo mum reads the paper on her ipad every day. She would definitely be in the demographic for watching ABC (they certainly do) so I can see this may appeal
I live remote in western Australia and can only get radio national late at night while standing on my head with the radio balanced precariously on my right foot! well not really but ican only catch a few programs at night and have only the local abc to listen to most of the time. I would love to be able to read the white paper so pls include me in any updates. I use a SURFACE tablet and hope that I can access it with this. I am only learning all this technology as I live in a tin shed and have only just got solar panels so I can now interact t with the rest of the world at my own pace. I don’t know what google play is but hope that you can let me know if I can access it . Thankyou.
What’s going on here? It’s an outrage, I tells ya. The ABC White Paper?
What about the ABC Black Paper?
And the ABC Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Paper?
This is SO NOT ABC. Time for everyone to be offended, and start litigation under section 18(c).
