I have been in the consumer magazine publishing
business since the 1980's. Magazines and newspapers
will survive. Research studies point out that many
magazines and newspapers are read in areas where a
computer can not easily reach. Example: Bathroom,
train, bed. Laugh if you will, but a major magazine
title did a survey a few years back and found the
number 1 place its' magazine was read was in the:
Bathroom.
