Hey, at least we’re saving the environment
In case you haven’t noticed, the economy isn’t that great… and print is doing even worse.
MediaFinder.com, an online closet of American and Canadian periodicals, reports more than 100 magazines have folded in the past three months.
Three months, 100 publications.
MediaFinder.com also notes a staggering 383 magazines have gone from shelf to shinola in 2009.
Among the largest were noted in a recent article from the Christian Science Monitor (ironically, the first newspaper to fold the print and free fall into the Web):
1. Country Home - 1,200,000 circulation
2. Domino - 1,100,000
3. Nick (Nickelodeon) Magazine - 1,000,000
4. Gourmet - 977,000
5. Hallmark Magazine - 750,000
6. Travel & Leisure Golf - 650,000
7. Time Style & Design - 550,000
8. (tie) Cookie - 500,000
8. (tie) Best Life - 500,000
10. Condé Nast Portfolio - 450,000
That’s a lot of oak trees still standing, and some kids at my house crying.
What? No Dora and Spongebob in a magazine? What is a brother going to do?
Maybe I’ll call Greenpeace for an answer.
