Maybe if Media24 got rid of Adriaan Basson and quit pandering to Government, perhaps people would care more?

Men's Health now costs R99. Who the hell would pay almost a hundred bucks for a magazine.

With so much media moving to online platforms faster and faster, the negative knock-on effects will be very interesting indeed:

Printing industries
Distribution industries
Paper Industries
Wood/Timber Industries
Ink Industries

The heavy price of progress I guess...

Very sad indeed

My wife used to be a magazine editor. Luckily she saw what was coming and changed her career path. Makes a lot less money now though but at least she has an income.

It's tough out there. The poor people who are losing their jobs.

Logically, the only way any magazine could ever survive is if it offered something that you couldn't get instantly and up to date online or in an app, at no cost. And that's a very, very hard ask. The only survivors might be very niche genres that lend themselves to print and/or detailed hobbyist/technical mags, and there isn't exactly much of a market here for that.

I just read the SA Hunter online. It's k@k. I want a printed magazine in my hands.

When I walk into any of the shops near me I just see the magazine racks filled to the brim. No-one is buying, and I don't know anyone who has bought a magazine in years. Sadly this is a case of adapt or die.

just like the film industry for photographers,
some saw it coming and others didnt like Kodak. thats almost vanished as quickly as it came.

The only surprise is that this didn't happen before Covid-19.

Well the cycling one I can understand, No one likes them, create a anti cycling magazine, it'll sell like hotcakes.

+1. I was helping a recently widowed friend clean out her house some time ago, and found a whole stash of Scopes on a high shelf in the outside toilet. I had a flick-through, then discretely bagged them in the rubbish to save the old girls' blushes...

Why White South Africans are Cracking Up. What a racist pos book.

True. He wrote another article the other day about racist Zille, racist Steve and racist Schuster. Because now all of a sudden Schuster is one of the biggest racists.
