IN BRIEF

Crash Media's first print issue will be released in the
middle of March. The list of articles above is poor fiction
and could be easily improved with your help. We are looking
for contributions in the form of text (opinionated
journalism, realism, spielism, fiction, scribblism), visual
material (faxed, scanned and finger-painted, posted and
pixellated, draw'n'dropped), cartoons, tricks, tips and DIY
handbooks. We are looking for the ten commandments of
communication war, the tip of the manifesto iceberg, the
unwell and unfair state, wormholes in the new economy,
sound systems for virtual communities, street scouting, and
media travellers.

Deadline for all material is the 20th February '98. We
favour text within the 500 to 800 word limit - and we envy
the capacity to make a strong point with 200 words! Scans
should be 300dpi and stuffed, send as attachments (MAC or
PC) - stamp-based mail is just as good. Currently we are
not able to pay contributors. Every contributor will
receive ten copies of Crash Media.

TECH-SPECS

Crash Media is for free and will be released bi-monthly as
of the middle of March. Printed on tabloid paper, each
issue will have a print run of 10.000. Crash Media is based
in Salford and London (UK). The first issue will consist of
8 or 12 pages, the following issues according to amount and
quality of contributions. Crash Media will be distributed
intensively in the North West of England and London, and
selectively world-wide. We are also open to any suggestions
for worthwhile locations.

Crash Media is a joint venture, defining the agenda of the
'Revolting' media lab in Manchester/ Salford UK in Aug/Sep,
and extending the voice of 'Skyscraper Digital Publishing'.
('Revolting' temp URL: http://www.art-bag.net/revolting)

Crash Media will be extended through a digital forum.
Threads generated in Crash Media on-line will be
selectively reprinted in the next issue. The public access
server in Manchester/ Salford will be set up over the next
few weeks and will host Crash Media - URL will follow
shortly, any domain name suggestions welcomed.
