Newsweek: So Farewell Then...

Now moving online only.
You do wonder how many magazines - straight, gay, whatever - will be available in print in a few years time.
Maybe they'll follow Newsweek.
Or, like Time Out did recently, start giving the print edition away for free.
Which is fine by me - I could spend my life quite happily reading magazines, if only they weren't so damned expensive.
Or will they just do what The Word magazine did earlier this year - sadly, as it was Britain's most interesting and intelligent music magazine - and just throw in the towel?
Tick tick tick...

PS Newsweek was just a load of right-wing trash really, so I can't say this will be much of a loss to the world.

PPS Yesterday The Guardian strongly denied a Telegraph story that it was "seriously discussing" ending its print edition. Digital publishing may well be the future, but no-one's really worked out a way to make it pay yet.
