trend du jour at the moment its just
not in our future, we make money the ol skool way

This happened in the 80s/90s with the car mags (Road & Track for one) and everything went freelance. The company may stay the same but gone are the days of F/T staff at these mags, expense accounts, hot and cold running swag and sending teams of people to events. It is going to get lean and mean for sure. At the end of the day, it’s business and if advertisers ain’t advertising, the mags can’t afford to fill cubes flush with eager aspiring writers and photogs… not when (and I say with without enthusiasm) there are soo many people out there who will do it for free (or at least… for peanuts). That is what happened with Road & Track, Car & Driver, Sports Car, etc. It is a shame, but Source is not different than any other biz… the question is…are they smart enough to emerge from this in the new era or are they going to stick to the old ways. Online is it… Kindle may not be the answer but something similar will be and Robin … I take my laptop, phone, etc. on the crapper and with wireless Internet… I can get my Cyril Huze Blog info in the middle of Baja without fail.

I’m a print dinosaur and will always prefer paper over a computer screen… besides computer screens don’t work in baja or the john when there is no TP. As for our friends at SORC, the they even got delisted from the stock market:

NEW YORK, May 28, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The NASDAQ Stock Market announced today that it will delist the common stock of Source Interlink Companies, Inc. Source Interlink Companies, Inc.’s stock was suspended on May 14, 2009 and has not traded on NASDAQ since that time. NASDAQ will file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to complete the delisting. The delisting becomes effective ten days after the Form 25 is filed.

Geno, a Kindle is great if you read a book. Even if you are extremely constipated you should not read a magazine in the john. Very unhealthy. And I doubt people will ever take a laptop at that time, About Source magazine: are you a little bit jealous? Nobody can survive without ads. You know too well with The Horse..

Ahh Rodent
Have you tried a Kindle
they suck
and you who wants a computer in the john

real magazines with real editorial content -not just wood pulp full of bike ads will always prosper

I hope Source sees the error of thier ways and comes back
with something we all really want to read

our titles are growing every month

But the magazines will have to change a lot and some will have to disappear.
