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 to 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
Associate 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 1987.
----- Ms. Cory was born in southern Germany,
and brought up and educated in the Bavarian
tradition, attending a private Catholic boarding
school. "Be prepared for attacks on your faith and
Teutonic principles," she was taught . . . so she
was. 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 and Spanish, from the Foreign Language
Institute of the State Capitol Munich..
----- Josie's early day ambitions as a
linguist, 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 continued
her education in the field of finance, 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 in Pasadena, California, and immediately
teamed - - to research and co-author several books
about the history of wireless communication and
banking.
----- The books include:
Clichés,What's Your Favorite Color, 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.
----- Disappointments Are Great! . . .
Follow the money, (published in 2003) 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.-----
----- Her latest
published work, (2012) is co-authored with her
husband, Troy Cory, entitled "Wireless
Telephone®™©-the Movie - The Deal To
Steal."
----- The book itself is a
"Bibliothéque" of official recordations,
historical timelines, and manuscripts, first
written by Capt. Billy, (William Jefferson
Stubblefield) in 1856-1860, and continued by Troy
and Josie Cory-Stubblefield from 1972, to date to
footnote key financial, communication, and
historical timeline issues.
-----
The self-styled NBS
legacy archivist, has since 1973 been the primary
watch-dog over the original hand-written and
published works of Nanthan B. Stubblefield, the
inventor of the wireless telephone.
----- Ms. Cory's
biggest rewards, as the publisher for TVI, is to
travel annually to her favorite European places,
Cannes, Munich and Milan. Josie personally covers
the Munich Film Festival, MP3, MIP, 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 . . . like Fox and the
emerging 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 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
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.
