Link to November 20 New York Times article.27 years of print publication history comes to an end with the January 2009 issue. Content will remain available online.
PC's circulation peaked at 1.2 million during the late 1990s. Current rate base is 600,000.
And I see that 5 LINK libraries will be able to free up some additional shelf space with the demise of Cottage Living, a Time-Life publication. (Current subscription base rate: 1,000,000.) The website is also going bye-bye.
Expect more carnage. Advertising pages for December 2008 monthly magazines are down 17% compared to December 2007.
Monitor the death watch yourself here. (The Media Industry Newsletter. Some content restricted.)
