New Economy Magazines Doomed
from the well,-duh dept
We've already discussed it, and we all already know it, but most of those new economy magazines are doomed. The article gives a good explanation of why. It also describes them as "extreme management magazines" which seems pretty descriptive. They're like the XFL of business magazines. They may look exciting, but when you get down to the actually game, there's not much substance. The article also points out that now slimmer magazines all seem to focus on two types of articles. It's either the "things aren't that bad" article or the "let's try to hype up something boring like supply chain management" type article.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

It's got longer stories and indepth profiles on people that you normally don't find on the web.
And until I get a wireless laptop... it's perfect for the bathroom.
