The idea of the magazine will be reimagined tomorrow night in New York City, with a collaborative event between Pop-Up Magazine and ESPN: The Magazine. Contributors to The New Yorker, This American Life, Wired, Slate, and other publications will get onstage at the Skirball Center for a one-night event, a "magazine" that is performed just once.

Streaming among women is governed in large part by life stage and daily to-do lists, rather than age or employment status.
Digital mindsets change over the course of the day and vary according to time, mood, location and “available mindshare.”
The value of video as “social currency” is on the rise, leading some women to largely favor links suggested by friends.
Emotional triggers impact viewing, specifically the types of content consumed.
