There are two stories I found on the web that definitely seem to go together. One is titled Print Magazine Readers Outnumber Digital 2 To 1 and the other August Ushers 59 New Titles…

Each has charmingly enthusiastic information about the print side of our business, from which, in my opinion, one could draw erroneous conclusions.

My viewpoint is this: I like and greatly enjoy the format of the printed magazine. But I am a business man, and it is the business aspect of the publishing process that counts more in my playbook and not the form factor.

I think we can all agree that the reading public’s supposed love of print isn’t paying the bills as well as it once did.
