Time Inc To Launch Two Online Titles Before Print Versions

(sub. req.) Update: read below: Hallelujah…Time Inc will do something very radical: publish websites. Well, Ann Moore, the CEO of Time Inc, doesn’t feel that threatened by the Internet anymore..this from someone who said this in September 2003: “The consolidation of the media is not as big a concern to me as the proliferation of unchecked media on places like the web. And that scares me more than anything.”

Anyway, she says: “[Internet] is not a threat to magazine brands…It’s an absolute opportunity.”

The company has two magazines on the drawing board that would launch as online titles first, with the possibility of companion print editions following later.

Update: According to WWD, one of those two new websites might be a site fpcused towards young men..the project si headed by former Maxim editor in chief, Mark Golin.
