So I am to understand we could search through recent Rolling Stones magazines and find no ads for psychics, tarot, Scientology, yoga, etc.?
I'd really have to see this to belive it.

I wouldn't worry too much. Rolling Stone still thinks U2 is the greatest rock and roll band in the world. |

"USA Today reported that Zondervan executives say the entertainment magazine was key in its $1 million campaign to reach young adults who have rarely, if ever, seen Bible ads before." Well its a privately run magazine so I suppose they can put what they wan`t in it.
Anything is worth a try I guess,just don't know if advertising the Bible in what is close to a porn magazine, sometimes, is a very effective strategy or wise use of money.

I can understanding Zondervan's essential marketing reasoning here, but to advertise in Rolling Stone is probably money down a rat hole.

I have an unwritten policy not to buy a MUSIC magazine that puts John F'n Kerry and Al Gore on its covers.

Do people really buy magazines anymore? And if so, why? I can get all the info I need on the net for free, and fresher. I have no idea why people still buy TIME or Newsweek since they are week-old news by the time they come out. They keep getting thinner, and pricier as time goes by.

Zondervan just needs to do a little market research here. If they were flogging Bibles to ancient, geriatric rocker wannabes, then
Rolling Stone is the place to do it.
RS is certainly within its rights, but turning away advertisers is not always the best business decision for a magazine with declining numbers.

"What is truth?" /s

I would bet that most that read Rolling Stone have never been to Sunday School or heard Bible stories. My baby boomer generation at least knew WHAT they were rejecting. Sadly, a lot of younger people only know what they've been told about the Bible by people who have never read it either. I actually had a librarian in her 40's tell me the Bible was full of violence and contradictions....her friend told her so and he'd read it once. Anyway, my point is that to pique someones curiosity, you may have to go where they are.

Rolling Stone? It's still AROUND? Didn't it disappear in a cloud of doobie smoke about 1983?

I do. . I love magazines; love to read them; carry them from one place to another. . .love to save the really good ones. . .easy pick-up anywhere. . .anytime.
Internet is great and read some on-line; but love the 'presence' and convenience. . .of real paper. . .
