Communications theorist Joaquín María Aguirre Romero surmises that ‘the digital magazine cannot be an object in itself but rather an instrument servicing the diffusion of worthy content’ (Aguirre Romero 1999). Emphasising the new opportunities afforded by digital media, he calls for authors and editors of electronic publications to bear in mind the ‘important mission’ of e-publications, that of dissemination of information and widening access, and to approach new digital media with a ‘new mentality’, conceiving of e-magazines within new media itself, as opposed to traditional print models, and taking advantage of all the resources on offer. As Internet connectivity has increased rapidly across Latin America (Everett 1998; Stinson 1998; Muñoz 1999), so too has the development of new online publications. Individuals and groups in certain countries across the region are now working to take advantage of new technology and harnessing otherwise unavailable opportunities for information access and dissemination by means of e-magazines in particular. Elsewhere (Holdom 2005) I have argued that electronic publication has been notably embraced by the Latin American academic world: scholarly e-journals proliferate in Chile, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, and Venezuela, for example, and publication of research in electronic form has overtaken that of some Western countries where a greater percentage of the population will be Internet users. In short, e-publication for a variety of fields – cultural and scientific – is booming in Latin America.
