Well, this is big news and could have a big impact on the publishing industry. I expect several mergers and/or additional buyouts after this pending Xerox-R.R. Donnelley deal goes through. As I see it, when the dust settles, it will be seen as an opportunity for the printing community to take down some more iron (as in shut down presses) and tighten the relationship between the number of magazines being printed and the amount of presses there are to print them on.
My take on this may not be universally beloved, but I suggest that this concentration of available equipment will help make the printing industry more profitable, and that means a healthier foundation for all members of the magazine brotherhood.
