Failing Economy Shutters 525 Magazines in 2008: "More than 525 US magazines ceased publication in 2008, and 40 have already folded in 2009 as the downturn in the economy continues to heavily impact most forms of print media, according to MediaFinder.com.
The regional magazines category suffered the largest decline in 2008, losing 33 titles. The travel category lost 18 titles.
The next largest category losers were home and automotive, both losing 17 publications each in 2008. In the home category, both Cottage Living and Home were shut down last year."

The Web is a free magazine. I've read many articles from magazines via the "Share" function on computers and iPhone. Why buy paper?
I like paper. I also like to read while lying in bed, which is hard to do with a computer--my computer, anyway.
I wonder if Soldier of Fortune is defunct. They had some great articles about torching remote villages.
