Wednesday, July 12, 2000 Blogs | Subscribe | Interviews | Events | Films | Book Blog Media Cynic | Forum | Advertising | Classifieds | Jobs Contentville.com Launches Contentville.com has launched its website which offers a variety of different types of content for download and purchase. Part magazine store, part research library, and part bookstore, Contentville promises to offer new and traditional media together at a single source. The site offers magazine subscriptions, books, original works, searchable magazine archives, academic theses, transcripts of television programs, speeches, screenplays, ebooks, and other forms of content. ``Web shoppers are the most avid consumers of content today-whether they're students or business people, sports or gardening enthusiasts, or even 18th century literature lovers-and I want to offer them content not found on any other website, as well as new ways to buy it,'' said Steven Brill, Chairman and CEO of Contentville.com. ``We will offer consumers honest, hype-free advice about what they are buying,'' said Contentville editor in chief David Kuhn. ``Our customers will also get to eavesdrop, in a way, on the conversations of some of the country's leading cultural figures and opinion makers who'll tell us what they're reading and what they think about what they're reading,'' Kuhn added. Contentville.com is a partnership with Brill Media Holdings, L.P. as general partner and CBS, EBSCO, Ingram Book Group, Microsoft, NBC, Primedia, and James Cramer as limited partners. Brill Media Holdings also publishes Brill's Content, a magazine that covers the media.
