We should be willing to eliminate unproductive products without fearing that thinning the herd means we are signaling our industry’s demise. Because closing a magazine is no more a sign of the death of the industry than the cancellation of a TV series means the shutdown of a network, or a haircut is a sign that you’re going bald.
