    Jesus, where were the above pictured passengers flying? Cheeseburgerville to Raw Cookie-Dough City?

    So this company, one of the leaders worldwide in terms of the number of titles it publishes, made less than $50 million in revenue and $4 million in profit? Hmm, that's about the size of a smallish newspaper or a midsize single title consumer magazine. Sounds hopeful, for sure.

    Airplanes in America still have in flight magazines? Fuck, in Europe some of the airlines now charge you to use the toilet. Seriously, my girlfriend was on a plane a little while ago and to get in the toilet you had to insert either a two euro or two pound coin. If they gave you a magazine they'd probably charge you five bucks for it.

    @drunkexpatwriter: No offense, but sounds apocryphal. A quick google search reveals nothing about airlines actually charging, and only Ryanair seems to have considered it (and even then, Ryanair has a long history of making noise for noise's sake). What airline / when was this?

    @basket548: RyanAir.

    I think they were testing it out (as they seem to do with all their "brilliant" ideas on the Montpellier route. )

    I think they use us to see how pissed off people will get because we don't get a lot of traffic.

    They are also talking about testing out their smoke free cigs on flight on our route.

    It's also amazing how all the useless, overpriced crap in Sky Mall seems incredibly innovative, reasonably priced and essential whenever I forget to bring a book to read on a flight.

    Do magazines think people want to wait for their regurgitated content on a monthly basis again? No. They do not. Silly magazines. You're going to have to offer people subscriptions to a bunch of your sites. And not .pdfs.

    From the looks of the picture, Martha Stewart is in bed with something other than the State Dept.

    With that stick, it is no wonder she doesn't need a man.

    I really don't understand how you couldn't make money on a bridal magazine. Your readers only get them for a year (unless they've gone way overboard) and then you can start recycling content (with some new pictures and up to date references). The only work to be done is selling ad space.

    @rmric0.wedding.photographer.and.manny: because the demo is so directly targeted (as in: I just got proposed to! I need to plan a huge wedding! Where do I start? What do I do?) the advertising in these mags was huge! and at top rates. Sorta like a mag for people who just won a million dollars and had never heard of a retail store.

    @manchops: Shouldn't then the magazine just become more targeted in region? So the ads could coordinate with the content, like New York Mag. You do a few editions, have local affiliates, etc.

    Im here all week Time Inc, whatever you need from me.

    @ArtfulSlinger: You're right, and that's probably what's happening. Local mags and newspapers always do special wedding supplements and are teaming with all those tuxedo rental, caterer kinda ads. Face it, the big glossy wedding mags were basic nuptial porn. Hard to afford these days...

    @manchops: Not only that not at all helpful compared to the blogs. There are hundreds of blogs just focused on printed collateral, let alone dresses, decor, rings, etc.

    @ArtfulSlinger: basically the demo got younger, like all the demos, and use the internet. I've been in magazines for a dozen years and could never believe how they just sat back and let this happen.

    Another piece of the straight marriage industrial complex's soul: ripped to shreds! Now our lady partners will have to consult gay blogs to see which napkins are hot this season.

    Let's hope the SI/Fortune PTB don't follow their HBO brethren's example and have the HR head do a victory lap w/her VP showing off new mink coats purchased with their bonuses.

    At least one print outlet is being "resurrected." From TPM - "Staff of the Southern Voice, a gay weekly in Atlanta and one of the handful of publications shut down abruptly by parent company Window Media last week, have received a $12,000 matching grant to start a new publication. "

    Anyway, thought some good news would be in order...
