Whether Print Magazines Are Dead Or Alive Depends on Your Business Model

Friedrich Nietzsche once said, “There are no facts, only interpretations.” That comes mighty close to our understanding of the magazine industry today, at least when it comes to the various reports we constantly read on the subject. How many headlines have you seen that report that “Print is dead” or “Print is alive” or “Print is vibrant” and back to “Print is obsolete”? These types of headlines appear relentlessly every day. It’s enough to make a grown man cry, and indeed some do.
