Many magazines didn't "deserve" to die ... yet did. - samtellig 06:47:54 02/18/15 (2)
Life. Look.

Newsweek. U.S. News.

High Fidelity (before it turned into a home theater rag).

Time and Reader's Digest are walking corpses. All their subscribers are not only old, but most are dead. Time, in particular, has almost no ads. Time's up.

Personal finance magazines are washed up, too, along with a vanishing middle class that has given up on upward mobility.

New York Magazine (once a vibrant weekly) is now a largely-ignored monthly. There is no buzz.

The Atlantic and Harper's have largely abandoned their literary roots. (The Atlantic does have an excellent website.)

The New Republic may or may not be printing in the future, after more than a century of publication.

Byte bit the dust with overnight speed. Technology moved too fast. No one wants even last week's news about computers.

Black and white photojournalism is gone.

Very sad. Especially for the creative people involved.

Remember, Mr. "Wangmr" in Hong Kong. You, too, may become obsolete one day. And through no fault of your own.

  "Very sad [lost of jobs]. Especially for the creative people involved."
  
  I apologize for going a little off topic. This reminds me of how sad it is that the word 'downsizing' has become synonymous with forward thinking. There is only so far you can go.
  
  "Remember, Mr. "Wangmr" in Hong Kong. You, too, may become obsolete one day. And through no fault of your own."
  
  This sounds intriguing. Please don't do me. I'd rather it come as a surprise.
