<p>So they went from weekly, to biweekly, to monthly. And now December will be their last print “magazine.” They will focus solely on digital content.</p>

<p>Wow. I wonder when the other print magazines will follow.</p>

<p>If only it would keep them from ranking everything from soup to nuts to colleges, we’d all be better off.</p>

<p>They’re not setting any trend - USN&WR is following other magazines. Newspapers and magazines are dying slowly as more and more people turn to just on-line sources for their news. <a href=“http://www.magazinedeathpool.com/magazine_death_pool/2009/11/the-quick-death-of-the-magazine-business-in-one-nifty-chart.html[/url]”>http://www.magazinedeathpool.com/magazine_death_pool/2009/11/the-quick-death-of-the-magazine-business-in-one-nifty-chart.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Interesting chart kathiep. There are some pretty significant drops in ad revenue for many of those magazines. I guess we will eventually only read online.</p>

<p>It won’t be long before that predawn “slap” of the local newspaper hitting your driveway is but a memory.</p>

<p>They’ll sell some print offerings on newsstands, such as their higher education and hospital guides. They’ll also print special edition issues for newsstand sale.</p>

<p>Not a real surprise when so many people can google their news. We subscribe to the local paper to hopefully keep it in business.</p>

<p>The decline of print news makes me sad. My metro newspaper puts a print edition on news stands daily, but the home edition is only delivered Thursday, Friday, and Sunday; subscribers can pay extra for access to the online edition the other days of the week. I do not like reading the news"paper" online, but I do continue to subscribe 7 days a week … because I worry that a lack of support for newspapers will lead to a lack of investigative journalism. That scares me.</p>

<p>Surely they’ll still publish their annual school report, though I wish people didnt put so much stock into that thing</p>
