FW: The Growing Edge Closes its Doors

**J* L* <h*@yahoo.com>**

Not only are magazines disappearing rapidly, you're going to be seeing the same thing with newspapers. They're losing subscribers like crazy and while they pay for the operations from advertising, the advertisers go where there are readers.

We're changing from a print world to a digital world, but publications haven't yet figured out yet how to make money consistently in the digital world.. And the recession magnifies all the problems.

Sad times.

I just wanted to send this to the list. It is so sad that yet another great
magazine has gone under. I have been wondering if there is anything, as
garden writers, that we can do to help keep gardening magazines in business..
Ideas? I know here locally we get a very small selection of garden magazines
on the racks. I literally have to drive two hours to a large bookstore to
see what is available. Our local bookstore has said if this economy
continues they will be closing the doors. That is sad.
