Thinking Out Loudmichael on 02 Sep 2006 01:39 pm
So I subscribe to this magazine that’s in its first year of production. I won’t name it, but depending on how you found your way over here you might be familiar with it.
In going through the magazine I’ve noticed that just about every article with the exception of two columns are written by just 2 different people.
Now I subscribe to several magazines, several of which I was a subcriber to since their inception. While it’s not uncommon for the same person to pen multiple articles in the same issue, finding the byline to be the same on 90% of the articles doesn’t seem to be a good sign…
So I’ve gotten to wonder, how long a magazine can last when it has such a small pool of people providing content?

automotive magazine by chance?
Besides, why read magazines? RSS has them beat! Oh, you need portability? Podcasts baby

All, I’ll say is that it’s a magazine that you don’t subscribe to
Since I have a smartphone I could look into a mobile RSS reader, but there’s something satisfying about sitting on the crapper with a magazine or a book that you just don’t get with an electronic device…
