What is going on in the publishing world?

I renewed for three years to some of my favorite
magazines like 73 Mag, Poptronics, and
Electronic Servicing & Technology and they appear to
have gone under leaving me with no subscriptions
and not even a transfer of my subscription to
another magazine as a substitute.

This makes me an unhappy camper not only because
of the loss of money but because I loved getting
these magazines every month.

Do you have any thoughts on this trend?

Unfortunately, this is a dying hobby....and the advertising revenue wasnt
enough to keep these magazines afloat..........and couple that with the fact
that Wayne Green was a bit of an "outlaw", crazyman, and a rogue didnt help any
with the potential advertisers. And for example...73 magazine was heavily
oriented towards "hands on projects", which hams dont do anymore. Its a proven
fact....these days, without industry support and advertising revenue any
magazine is doomed......Wayne had his day in the sun.....and it finally "gave
up the ghost"
