Requiem for a magazine
One of the more polemical rants I've ever had was decrying the death of the print industry - not once, but twice - nearly four years ago. I predicted that publishers of newspapers, magazines and books would have to undertake radical convergence measures and embrace the online concepts that mainstream media continues to be so ignorant towards if they wanted to stay alive.
I saw that PC Magazine will be stopping circulation of its print publication, now being a 100% digital entity.
From ReadWriteWeb - The problem for print magazines is not the fact that they are physical objects, but simply the fact that a publication which only appears once a month will always lag behind its online competition.I'm now wondering what took them so long. Who's next?
