RE: Print-zines, E-zines, size, policies, etc.

In my experience, though, print publications offer superior content.

I'm not referring to your site, or suggesting that this is true of every site and publication.

But the quality of journalism at the Huffington Post is not the quality of journalism at the New York Times, and so on.

And note that a number of print publications, including the Times, have gone to a subscription model precisely because they couldn't afford to maintain that quality of journalism on the basis of web revenues alone. This despite the fact that their web readership is many times what their print readership is or was. And the move to subscriptions seems so far to have been a success: it seems that people are willing to pay more for top-quality journalism.

I like to think that that will change as publications continue to move towards electronic distribution, but, for now, the free Internet ad-supported model appears to have some limits, essentially financial.
