History

The first issue of Playback magazine was published, in tabloid format, on September 29, 1986.

The magazine has since begun to report on advancements in the online digital media industry as well, specifically web series and related events, media, and culture.[2] The magazine also reports on funding resources for filmmakers, technical advancements in the industry, and trends.[3] It is widely considered to be a "must read" amongst industry professionals.[4]

In May 2010, Playback magazine stopped publishing its biweekly print edition and became an exclusively online magazine.[5]
