Re: future of garden magazines

Poor management decisions, misguided owners or out of touch editors
notwithstanding, the internet has had a significant impact on the decline of
magazines

Certainly it has, for the industry as a whole. But if any particular title is losing ground to the internet it's because, as I said before, that they're not providing what the reader wants.

>( how many of you write regularly for websites?) <

As writers, this is actually a downside. The question should be, how many of you write for websites that _pay_ you? I refuse to play that game. The plumber doesn't fix my pipes for free, why should I provide a valuable commodity (information) on that basis.

One of the reason the internet has hurt freelancers is that so many supposed professional writers are willing to give their stuff away.

>and will continue

to do so.<


More shame on them.
