Editor in Chief Craig Marks: Print 'Stands in the Way of Where Spin Needs to Be'

Digital music pub tries new direction

It's time to let go of the idea that music outlet Spin is meant to be a print magazine, according to newly appointed editor in chief Craig Marks.

"It's very, very hard to break up with print," he said. "But to hold onto print and to have an even kind of romantic relationship with it probably stands in the way of where Spin needs to be as a 21st-century digital publication."

His new role at the mag is a homecoming of sorts for Marks, who was an editor for Spin for seven years during the 1990s.
