CM Magazine Editorial


Welcome to CM, the national, electronic reviewing journal of Canadian materials for young people.

Why has CM shifted to publishing electronically? Some people think the internet will be the agent of a radical transformation in human culture; others laugh and jeer. Time will tell. But we're publishing CM electronically not for the sake of jumping on the hi-tech bandwagon, but because it lets us offer both readers and publishers services that printed material can't.

Some of those services -- sound or video clips, for example, or electronic ordering -- will have to wait until our technical capabilities, or yours, catch up to our plans. Nonetheless, the nature of the medium provides some advantages to everyone right away, whether you're reading CM with a graphic world-wide-web browser or simply through e-mail:

Like any new venture, expect the new, electronic CM to change and improve quickly. And because we're working in a medium whose nature is change, we'll always be scrambling to keep on top of what's possible for us, our readers, and advertisers. But the essential goal of the project will remain the same:quality, in-depth, and timely coverage of Canadian materials for young people. Let us know how we're doing.
