It's sad to read about a "dying print media." Whether it's a magazine or a book, nothing gives you the same feeling as curling up for a good read. I'm still in it for the long haul.
I certainly hope not, but let's face it, that's not enough to make it not so. Although, in an economy where Magazines might be too much of a luxury, I wonder if things would look differently when things pick back up?
I hope not - I love having the gard copy of my MSL magazines. Print media is what gets me through long walks on a treadmill in the winter!
I hope not. I love sitting down with a magazine and thumbing through the pages ... I don't want everything to be electronic.
