Eastern Woods & Waters relaunching itself online

Eastern Woods & Waters, an Atlantic Canada magazine that closed its print version last fall, is relaunching online. As part of the relaunch it is reformatting and uploading some 24 years of print content with the aim of providing a knowledge base for today's younger readers. Jim Gourlay, the publisher and editor (who is also co-publisher for Saltscapes), told Mastheadonline:

“We have young people who are thirsty for that knowledge who don’t really read magazines anymore. They’re going online. So we have the capacity to take content that’s still valid, which amounts to about 1.1 million words in about 700 how-to articles. It’s a huge volume of content that will give us a base for our website and then we’ll build from there.”

He says the goal is to have an informational website, rather than an online magazine.
