Crazy Dude Launches Print Music Mag: Will Blurt Survive?
The first print issue of Blurt hit newsstands late last month. It’s a glossy magazine about indie rock. It has had a web site, http://blurt-online.com, for nine months.
And now publisher and former musician Scott Crawford thinks it’s time to launch a print magazine?
“2009 is looking very, very healthy,” Crawford told the Washington Post. “People have been saying print’s dead since 2001. We’re certainly seeing more and more evidence of it now, but I’m fairly confident.”
Is he crazy or prescient? The Post reports that the first issue of Blurt had 40 ad pages and that Crawford thinks the magazine could turn a profit soon.
