More Magazines Open New Sites On The Internet

The on-line magazine rack is getting more crowded. Rolling Stone and Field & Stream have opened Web sites recently, and Cosmopolitan plans to introduce one Monday.

Rolling Stone offers daily music news and reviews (with sound clips), as well as interview tapes and a sampling of articles from the biweekly print magazine on its Web site at http://www.rollingstone.com.

Reprints from the Nov. 14 print issue include a Q&A with Evan Dando of the Lemonheads (with links to related Web sites) and an excerpt from the cover story on Sheryl Crow. An on-campus area offers college radio playlists, happenings and a guide to a college town - Syracuse University is featured.

The on-line magazine is to debut this month on America Online.

Heavy on design and light on technical advice, the Rolling Stone site leaves it up to the user to discover what software is needed to listen to interview tapes and music clips.

Field & Stream provides a friendlier home page, with a clearly labeled table of contents that points readers to articles, field guides, tide charts and state fish and game departments. A selection of articles from the print magazine includes a look at the muzzle-loading debate and an account of a turkey hunt. Resources include tips for hunting and fishing nationwide, book reviews, reader forums, and sunrise and sunset times. You’ll find it at http:/ /www.fieldandstream.com.

Like the other magazines, Cosmopolitan plans to offer a sampling of its print content, including its Bedside Astrologer. Interactive features let readers add their comments to the agony column and e-mail the bachelor of the month.
