Magazines
Overview
I haven't read a magazine in years. I subscribe to several, and I'll flip through them when they arrive...but in most cases, I've read the articles online well before the magazine arrives.
I may be abnormal, but I read magazines for two reasons - for articles worth keeping and for the ads. If a magazine publishes a yearly guide (i.e. "State of the Elearning Industry", "Buyers Guide"), I keep them for reference. I read the ads because new products and concepts are often in ads months before they are in featured articles.
| The Internet is about connecting people and resources in "instant time". Delay time publications like magazine need to transition to offering resources and information that is not time sensitive. In today's Internet world, magazines are no longer perceived as news vehicles. |
