Something that worked here was that there was a viable, productive newsstand market where both these titles were able to find an audience. Unless something is done to insure there will continue to be a stable and accessible retail market place, it will be even harder for new titles, even for large publishers like Hearst, let along small, independent ones, to find their audience.

And so long as advertisers perceive print to be the better information dissemination channel (vs. the web) print will thrive. It certainly doesn’t show any signs of slowing down now. Go Jade!

Samir and I differ many times, about many parts of the future of our industry, but not about the beauty of print, and for the record I, too, think that is a wonderful thing.

I would also point out to his readers, that our long-standing debates about our industry will continue unabated. So much so that several times this year Samir and I will be appearing at a dog and pony show near you to discuss the future of our business and whether or not it will be a paper and/or otherwise revenue related existence.

Is it really possible that there is life after death? The contents of your suitcase may have provided the answer.

I and my family moved to Belize in October 2012 and, although magazines are hard to find here in the capital city of Belmopan, there are a few stores that carry them. And it confused the heck out of me when I saw an up-to-date copy in one of the stores earlier this year. I guess, as you have made clear, print isn’t quite as dead as some would have a person believe!
