One of the airlines sent me a letter recently with an option to redeem points for magazines. I looked at the list offered and tossed the letter.

Everyone ask yourselves how many magazines you buy today, compared to 10 years ago. How many do you buy on a newsstand? How many do you get via subscription?

And ask yourselves why you don’t get as many? Is it due to political awareness of the liberalism of the content? Is it because of the internet? Is it because we get so much information from the internet and 24/7 cable news, that you can only read so much information before you go on overload?

with People declining a relatively modest 23.5%

Losing 23% of your subscribers is modest?

Any Freeper feedback on why these numbers are so drastically lower? Although I stopped buying them years back when I learned two of the three were French owned. I’m open to buying them now, just never got around to it.

Among automotive enthusiast titles:

Car and Driver fell 52.1% from 144,867 to 70,911;
Motor Trend 52.3% from 160,722 to 76,621;
Road and Track 62.8% from 147,750 to 54,262.

I was curious which magazines are actually growing. Were they conservative? Maybe I missed something, but when I looked through, just about the only one that seems to be growing is Men’s Health.

So, it’s not conservative readers, it’s just girlie men anxious about their health and looking for fashionable advice. I imagine that’s a rapidly growing demographic sector.

Well, except the Washington Times and Examiner...

News stands ... rapidly going the way of Harness Shops and Livery Stables ... for exactly the same reason

[Cowboy Bob]

Do they track sales of Ebony, JET or Oprah?

The business model needs to change.
Not long from now, print material will be considered an advertising expense for the e-book format. There will only be a niche market for these printed publications -- dental offices, airline terminals, etc.

Puffed up liberal elite narcissists aren’t that much fun to read? How can it be? /s

[Chickensoup]

Let’s see,

I subscribe to World Magazine, it is a good biweekly that doesnt insult my intelligence or my faith.

I also subscribe to First Things, and Chronicles, and occasionally to the New Oxford Review.

I get an NRA magazine, Downeast, and Yankee as well as the AAA mag that comes with my subscription

Country Living and Small Stock Journal and Backwoods Home are both in the mailbox.

I send subscriptions to the Smithsonian to an elderly relative.

My son gets Field and Stream, we canceled Outdoor Life and Peterson’s Hunting.

We also get Farm and Ranch.

And a billion catalogs.

Tuesday good news.

I don't see how magazines holding onto 50% of their sales is good news. I would have prefered that number be closer to 10% and heading toward zero.
