- Feed Magazine
Feed or "feedmag.com" was one of the earliest
e-zine s that relied entirely on its original online content. Feed was founded byStefanie Syman and Steven Johnson in 1995, and soon found a devoted online following. The zine had daily content, and focused on media, pop culture, technology, science and the arts. One of the editors was novelistSam Lipsyte .Automatic Media
In July
2000 , following a sharp downturn in internet investment, Feed merged with popular editorial sitesuck.com to createAutomatic Media . Their concept was to streamline their operations and collaborate on boutique operations with low staffing costs. Their joint projectPlastic.com was founded with only 4 staffed employees. Despite the faithful cult following, and a combined reader base of over 1 million, Automatic Media folded in June 2001.External links
