NEEDED
- A new face for the largest
single
industry in the World - TV and Film! . . . a small
screen -- Big Picture
-----
Just
before Al Preiss died in August of 1986, he
admitted that TVI Magazine --
"was nothing more than a
service company, that just happened to have
a device to deliver a news service
for Hollywood's biggest buyers of television
advertising . . . that sold film products to
his 16,000 main-trade subscribers around the
world."
-----
"Al was right on . . . when
he stressed those above key words written in
italics, said Josie Cory. My company bought TVI,
and we immediately started combining news with our
electromagnetic streaming devices."
-----
Of
course, the rest is history. TVI could deliver news
fast and economically, and store more media on
floppies disks for future use, than could ever be
printed by existing
news print
disseminators.
"That's
when 'Television With No Borders',
and 'Small Screen, Big Picture' came
about. You can see what each page of my first
computerized 74 page magazine production looked
like, by clicking here".
As
much a part of Hollywood as the big sign on the
hill,
TVI has been reporting on the entertainment
industry
for almost five
decades.
-----
In
April 1956, Sam Donaldson and Al Preiss under
DonPre Publishing Company published the debut issue
of Television International Magazine (then
TELEvisionFILM Magazine), one of the major
entertainment industry trade papers in Hollywood.
The office was located at 1580 Cross Roads of the
World, Hollywood, California. Yearly subscription
was $5.00 (Yes, Five Dollars!) and a single copy
cost 50 cents.
-----
Back
then the four leading broadcasting trade magazines
devoted less than nine percent (9%) of their total
editorial content directly to television film in
1955 according to TELEvisionFILM Magazine research.
The basis of this research was to point up the need
for adequate editorial coverage of the television
film industry.
-----
Sam
Donaldson in his 1956 headline article "1939"
writes: "The history of a great industry is always
interesting. Not only is it extremely revealing
from a purely factual standpoint, it is usually a
graphic tribute to a handful of men who had the
gift of foresight and believed in the impossible.
But history tends to become confused with time,
events are all too quickly clouded if they are not
recorded as they happen."
-----
That
does not much differ from what Robert Dowling,
publisher of the Hollywood Reporter is saying some
fifty years later, ". . . What is significant about
the entertainment industry is that you can almost
reach back and touch its origins." "TheReporter is
no exception." Also no exception is the longevity
endured Television International Magazine", says
this writer.
-----
Sam
in his 1987 autobiography "Hold On Mr. President"
recalls the beginning of Television International
in just these words: " . . . After getting my B.A.,
I went to the University of Southern California for
a year of postgraduate work. This time I worked
hard but didn't stick to it. Instead, I started a
magazine in Hollywood called Television Film with
five thousand dollars and a friend named Al Preiss.
We went first-class, letter press printing instead
of offset, four-color ads instead of black and
white.
-----
It
soon became evident that we needed fifty thousand
dollars, not five. I sold my car to raise cash and
took a job for a couple of weeks typing invoices at
the Catalina Swim Suite factory, but it wasn't
enough. Finally, I sold out to Al and went back
spend the summer in El Paso before going into the
army, as I was obligated to do. Al is still
publishing the magazine under the name Television
International Magazine."
-----
The
6-feet-plus amiable and overtowering Preiss was a
presence not to be missed at all the major program
markets and industry conferences, domestic and
abroad. He became a major player in Hollywood,
launching the first Hollywood Festival of World
Television in 1963. It was a grand exposition
devoted to showing Hollywood what was being
televised in other parts of the world.
-----
The
best and brightest television producers, executives
and advertisers were chosen to judge outstanding
television programs from all around the world.
After an 11-year tenure, the last annual Festival
was held in 1974.
-----
TVI
became a voice in the industry to be reckoned with,
publishing out of the same offices off Hollywood
Boulevard for more than a quarter of a century, and
out of Pasadena, the following years. (Today, the
offices are in Universal
City.)
-----
Preiss
ran Television International until his untimely
death in August 1986, when he suffered a heart
attack while covering the Video Software Dealers
Association convention in Las Vegas. His wife, and
Associated Editor, Sylvia Preiss subsequently sold
the paper in February 1987 to the Cory's, whereby
Josie Cory became its editor-in-chief and
publisher, a position she currently still
holds.
-----
Cory
continued the founders' vision that the television
film industry had needed a publication that would
analyze and put into focus the news, issues and
problems which particularly concern the production
and distribution of film for television. She shared
the founders' keen awareness of the kind of
unprecedented impact television was to and
continues to have on our lives, as she pioneered
the magazine into the firewired digital era and
media online service absolute nonexistent on TVI's
radar screen when it was founded in 1956.
-----
Cory
says, "New technologies and the Internet medium
have brought radical changes to the magazine
publishing business, putting it in constant flux
and evolution." By utilizing an "all-in-one"
computer network connected by firewire, TVI was
able to share its media storage content and was
first to stream "packets" of information out to the
Internet using its VATS Wi-Fi systems. Covering an
array of integrated media beats, it is TVI's goal
to make it easier for users to access current and
archival material they
want.
Television
International Magazine was among
the early entertainment trades to go
online.

TIMELINE:
Josie Cory, the Publisher
----- Josie Cory has been
the publisher/editor of TVI Magazine, since 1987.
Her life as a publisher/editor commenced when Josie
bought the controlling interest of Television
International Magazine in 1986.
----- Ms. Cory was born in
southern Germany, and brought up and educated in
the Bavarian tradition, attending a Catholic
boarding school in the Southern part of Germany.
"Be prepared for attacks on your faith and Teutonic
principles," she was taught . . . so she did. Her
liberal arts studies in the 1960s, brought her from
the German "Hopfen" flat lands to Munich, England
and to the U.S. for post graduate studies. She
received her scholastic degrees, majoring in
English studies, from the Munich University School
of Arts & Languages.
-----
Josie's early day ambitions,
was to become an interpreter and translator with
noble institutions like the United Nations or other
foreign diplomatic corps. But, being the in between
spokesman and translator for high finance
government officials, she ended her education as a
financial scholastic, that lead her into the
"cashless society" -- the era of the signet credit
card.
----- Her international
telex and tele key monetary banking experience and
knowledge of four major languages, landed her first
in London, the U.S. -- then off to Mexico, after
she met her husband, Troy Cory-Stubblefield. In
1972, they were married and immediately teamed - -
to research and co-author several books about the
history of wireless communication and
banking.
----- The books include:
"Clichés", "Bank of America, The
Tortfeasor", The Smart-Daaf Boys: "The History of
Radio and Television", "Reinventing Radio and
Television with a Glossary" and "Rediscovering
Radio With Documents" - Published in
1993.
-----
Her latest books include:
"Disappointments Are Great! . . . Follow the
money", (published in 2004) and
the Smart
Daaf-Boys. All of the
historical facts written and researched for the
books were from original documents provided by Troy
Cory-Stubblefield, and Bernard Stubblefield during
the early part of their marriage while she helped
raise Troy's four
children.
----- The book itself is a
"Bibliothéque" of official recordations,
historical timelines, and manuscripts, first
written by Capt. Billy, (William Jefferson
Stubblefield) in 1856, and continued by Troy and
Josie Cory-Stubblefield from 1972 to date to
footnote key financial, communication and
historical timeline
issues.
----- Ms.
Cory's biggest pleasures, as the publisher for TVI,
is to travel annually to her favorite European
places for relaxation, Cannes, Munich and Milan.
Josie personally covers the Munich Film Festival,
MP3, MIPCOM and MIFED markets with Troy. It was in
Cannes, that prompted her to write the
Ah
. . . France about the jewel by the Mediterranean
sea;
and the world of the
Internet. It's the spiritual grave yard for the
truth, lies, and exaggerations of history, told by
whistle blowers.

ByLines:
Editors Note
-----
"Rupert Murdoch was selected
by Josie as TVI's first POW in 1987, and it was my
first "hands-on" publication", said TVI Josie Cory,
during the interview for the Murdoch Byline Story.
"After taking over the magazine from Al Preiss,
(see
page 18, "Tribute To A
Publisher"), I
needed something hot . . . so it was Fox and the
Internet and
computers".
-----
So . . . beginning with her
first first TVI Issue in 1987, Josie Cory, utilized
the same devices as VRAtv, Rosemont and Vine Street
Video Center were using to shoot and edit video
programing with newly designed desk-top computers.
The
VRA wireless telecast system and a land-line
telephone networking system, called VATS, was used
to video tape remote locations around Rosemont. The
studio's key to success, was secrecy. It was a
remarkable place to work, create and live
in.
-----""It
was a mini Wi-Fi Internet broadcasting research
center. At the beginning we used the only the Mac
computer. It was the only one that could do the
job. We used the Apple to create each printed issue
as well as video tape our television series", said
Josie for this Byline. With the help of a telephone
line, we collected our articles via telefax and
Timbuktu. Strange as it seems, what we did then, we
do now, except from China. We followed the same
money trail that led others to the success of the
wireless telephone and radio. As
most students of wireless know, Troy's grandfather,
Nathan B. Stubblefield, was the original patent
holder and designer of the wireless telephone and
the Internet system. See NBS100 and Firewire and
Watermelons.
-----By
1992, we were streaming video from Pasadena to
Murray, Kentucky. We called it Lookradio. Today our
readers get Internet-based VRA/TVI programs via
Xingtv and VRAtv for the price of a subscription.
Our WebAd advertisers, pick up the tab. "Our
business model is based almost entirely on WebAds
and the subscription revenues," said Mark Soval,
vice president of corporate affairs of our TVI
Hollywood-based company.
-----It
just goes to show you, says Troy about the TV and
Film industry -- "NOTHING IN THIS WORLD IS
PERMANENT" . . . so follow the
money -
- and
take some advice from a dinner-time chat with
"Stonehead" --
Disappointments Are Great! Follow
the Money . . . the Internet and the Smart- Daaf
Boys.
