Five months ago, veteran Apple reporter Jim Dalrymple made a bet that people would want to pay two bucks to read articles about tech, music and more in a minimal iPad magazine. Now, hes moving to a relatively unknown new platform called Glide that may end up kicking off the next era of tablet media publishing. Dalrymple has been publishing on the web since 1994, but earlier this year he launched an iPad magazine to take advantage of Apples Newsstand delivery system. Recently, Newsstand has come under fire for changes made to it with Apples iOS 7 redesign. The app is now a static icon instead of a shelf with visible covers, and it can be tucked away inside other folders, burying periodicals that may fall from mind until the subscription reminder arrives and its opted out. But Dalrymple says that hes happy with the platform. Newsstand is the way to go, he tells me, Were committed to it. Apple does a good job of exposing Newsstand content [in the store]. The onus of having a good app and a great experience and good content thats on us. Because Apple takes care of the distribution and surfacing the Newsstand content in the store, says Dalrymple, it allows the creators to put more attention on the apps content and experience. This is especially useful with small teams like the one that publishes The Loop and market companion The Magazine. The first app that Dalrymple put out on Newsstand was simple and focused, with a design focused on delivering the medium-and-long-form text content that formed the majority of the articles. The new design, says Dalrymple is about an expanded reading experience that isnt like any other magazine on iPad. To do that, hes turned to Glide Creations, whose CEO Chris Harris has been working on perfecting Glide and the accompanying Glide Creator for several years. Glide, though a newly minted product, has been behind the media presentation powers of other apps in the past. A prime example is Brian Cox Wonders of the Universe, a compendium of video and text programming that was published on the App Store in 2012. The app presents video, images and text in a smoothly scrolling interface that has to be seen live to be appreciated. It was so stunning that it was awarded Apples Best of App Store award, the Mobile Digital Impact Award
