NeXTWORLD MAGAZINE SUSPENDS PUBLICATION

San Francisco, March 21, 1994 1 Integrated Media Inc. (IMI) announced
today that it has suspended publication of NeXTWORLD, its
three-year-old magazine that was dedicated to the market for NEXTSTEP
products and services.


The April issue of NeXTWORLD will be printed and distributed on
schedule. However, work has ceased on future issues as well as on the
NeXTWORLD Expo trade show, which IMI formerly produced in association
with NeXT Inc. and Digital Consulting Inc.


"This is a sad day for those of us who have worked hard to produce a
quality magazine in support of the NEXTSTEP market," said Dan Ruby,
NeXTWORLD's Editor and Publisher. "However, market conditions are
such that it is no longer viable for IMI to continue publishing a
magazine dedicated to NEXTSTEP."

Pending negotiations with other publishers for a possible sale of
NeXTWORLD's assets, paid subscribers to NeXTWORLD will be served with
issues of Advanced Systems, IMI's monthly magazine for Unix
professionals.


Integrated Media, Inc., is a wholly owned business unit of the
International Data Group. Based in San Francisco, it publishes
Advanced Systems magazine and Publish magazine.
