Overview: Omni was a science and science fiction magazine published in the US and the UK. It contained articles on science, parapsychology, and short works of science fiction and fantasy. Omni’s original print version ran from October 1978 to 1995.
Omni was founded by Kathy Keeton and her long-time collaborator and future husband Bob Guccione, the publisher of Penthouse magazine. The initial concept came from Keeton, who wanted a magazine “that explored all realms of science and the paranormal, that delved into all corners of the unknown and projected some of those discoveries into fiction.”
In early 1996 publisher Bob Guccione suspended publication of the print edition of Omni. Omni first began its online presence as part of Compuserve in the summer of 1986. Now free of pressure to focus on fringe science areas, Omni returned to its roots as the home of gonzo science writing, becoming one of the first large-scale venues to deliver a journalism geared specifically to cyberspace, complete with real-time coverage of major science events, chats and blogs with scientific luminaries, and interactive experiments that users could join. The world’s top science fiction writers also joined in, writing collaborative fiction pieces for Omni’s readers live online.
In September 1997, Kathy Keeton died of complications from surgery for an intestinal obstruction. The staff of Omni Internet was laid off, and no new content was added to the website after April 1998. General Media shut the site down and removed the Omni archives from the Internet in 2003.
In the fall of 2017, an attempt to revive Omni on-line was started; featuring similar content the magazine always offered; however, no new content of any sort has been posted since January 2018.
