Printcasting Makes You A Magazine Publisher

Last year, The Bakersfield Californian was honored with a grant from the Knight News Challenge to build Printcasting, a new idea for local news that allows anyone to quickly and easily create professional-looking printable magazines. Now Printcasting is up and running in "beta" test mode, and we're hoping you'll take a few minutes to try it out and let us know what you think.

Just go to www.printcasting.com and click on Create Your Magazine to get started. From there, you just choose a topic for your magazine, pick and design and select from available articles (we've seeded Printcasting with Californian content, with more to come from community bloggers and groups).

Then, just wait for a minute or so and Printcasting will create a magazine for you. If you have your own content with an RSS feed, register your content first and then you can create a magazine using your content.

Printcasting has been reviewed in Businessweek and a number of other magazines and has activity on Twitter and Facebook. You can also join the Printcasting community at printcasting.ning.com and get the inside scoop on our development and features as they are announced.

If you have any questions or want more information, contact Tom Webster at tom@printcasting.com, on Twitter at twitter.com/tomwebster or on the phone at 661-348-3378.
