At SXSW Interactive, we caught up with Liz Schimel, chief digital officer of Meredith National Media, and Chris Wilkes, VP of the App Lab at Hearst Magazines, after their panel on digital delivery. The two executives talked about the challenges involved with transitioning their well-known brands to tablet devices and the opportunities for attracting and engaging existing readers as well as new audiences.
