Its last issue, number 119, was published in July 2004.{{cite news|author=Jemima Kiss|title=End of the line for Internet Magazine|url=https://www.journalism.co.uk/news/end-of-the-line-for-internet-magazine/s2/a5872/ |work=Journalism|accessdate=29 May 2019|date=5 May 2004}} ==History== ''Internet Magazine'' covered almost anything internet-related, as long as there was a consumer or small business slant. It was launched by Emap's London-based Emap Computing unit as a spin-off from a now-defunct technical computer networking monthly called Datacom having been proposed by that magazine's then deputy editor Neil Ellul to publisher Roger Green. The first stand-alone issue of Internet, edited by Ellul and published by Green appeared in October 1994 with a cover story on how a dozen businesses had 'taken the plunge' by starting up their own websites. Positioned as 'the practical guide to what's on and where to go', ''Internet Magazine'' published a list of all the world's publicly available [World Wide Web](/source/World_Wide_Web) websites—55 in the first issue of the magazine—as well as content available through [FTP](/source/File_Transfer_Protocol) and [Gopher](/source/Gopher_(protocol)) protocols. Gradually, the [dot-com boom](/source/dot-com_boom) helped boost the magazine's popularity, and by the late 1990s its [pagination](/source/pagination) had quadrupled from 52 pages to more than 200. Regular features included "Bookmarks of the Rich and Famous", in which a celebrity was asked their favourite websites. Featured celebrities of the day included [Uri Geller](/source/Uri_Geller),{{cite news|title=Bookmarks of the rich and famous|url=https://www.urigeller.com/bookmarks-rich-famous/|website=Uri Geller|date=3 May 1988|accessdate=29 May 2019 |author1=Uriadmin }} [Kelly Brook](/source/Kelly_Brook), [Loyd Grossman](/source/Loyd_Grossman), [Terry Pratchett](/source/Terry_Pratchett), [Steve Redgrave](/source/Steve_Redgrave) and [Martine McCutcheon](/source/Martine_McCutcheon). In 2000, ''Internet Magazine'' began hosting a regular 'Movers and Shakers' event which featured 50 of what it deemed the biggest names in the Internet industry. The first event included guests such as [Bob Geldof](/source/Bob_Geldof), who had established an internet travel website called [Deckchair.com](/source/Deckchair.com) (now part of lastminute.com), as well as [lastminute.com](/source/lastminute.com)'s founders, [Brent Hoberman](/source/Brent_Hoberman) and [Martha Lane Fox](/source/Martha_Lane_Fox). The last annual Movers and Shakers event was held in 2003. ==Layout and content == From 1998 onwards, the magazine was divided into several sections including news, an internet interview, expert help, features and website reviews. Its accompanying website, www.internet-magazine.com, was launched in 2001, and included daily news, a website of the week and several feature articles. In 2003, a decision was made to redesign the magazine. A new masthead and font was introduced, and a more conscious decision to make the column layout more flexible. ==Contributors== Regular contributors to the magazine included Angus Kennedy, author of the first few editions of the [Rough Guide](/source/Rough_Guides) to the Internet (which initially was largely based on content that had appeared in Internet Magazine); Simon Waldman, now Director, Product Research, Design and Definition at Sky; Lance Concannon; [Bill Thompson](/source/Bill_Thompson_(technology_writer)); Mike Slocombe, founder of the Brixton-based website [Urban 75](/source/Urban_75); Sean McManus; [Ivan Pope](/source/Ivan_Pope), internet publisher and inventor of the [Cybercafe](/source/Cybercafe); [Richard Dinnick](/source/Richard_Dinnick), author and screenwriter; [Martyn Moore](/source/Martyn_Moore), writer and filmmaker; and Daniel Harvey, journalist and publisher of ''[Transport Briefing](/source/Transport_Briefing)''. ==References== {{Reflist}} Category:1994 establishments in the United Kingdom Category:2004 disestablishments in the United Kingdom Category:Defunct computer magazines published in the United Kingdom Category:Magazines established in 1994 Category:Magazines disestablished in 2004 Category:Magazines published in London Category:Monthly magazines published in the United Kingdom --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [Internet Magazine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Magazine) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Magazine?action=history)).
