Interesting. Funny how the dinosaur media keeps avoiding the real issue why ad income is plummeting.

I dropped my subscription about 12 years ago. Since I had been a subscriber for almost 20 years, they called me several times to ask why.

I was honest, I told them in detail, citing comments from the last issue I'd received.

I don't remember exactly what it was that was the straw at the time, but I told them that they were biased and weren't covering some current Xlinton scandal.

It's taken a long time for some of the rest of the country to catch up.

"lack of spending in the automotive sectors..."

Can somebody please tell those jerks trying to sell the Tribeca?

I've only heard "Dust in the Wind" about a thousand times more than I did when it was number one.

It's getting real old. Really, really old.

The liberal media exists on income from ads placed by big businesses, so to the liberal media it makes perfect sense to trash big business. And is then victimized by big businesses when they stop placing ads and providing income.

Typical liberal solution. Ad revenue is down, so we print less magazines. And probably raise the ad rates and the cover price. Maybe if they didn't print any magazines at all the problem would go away. My first step would be to fire jonathan alter and eleanor rodham-clift.

A lack of spending in the technology and automotive sectors

From your source: http://www.mediabuyerplanner.com/print/

Meredith's earnings soared 23 percent for its fiscal year 2005 to $128 million, Mediaweek reports. Ad revenue across its magazines - including Better Homes and Gardens, Ladies' Home Journal, Midwest Living, and American Baby - grew eight percent, to $253 million, in the fourth quarter, boosted by an uptick across food, cosmetic and automotive categories (as I noted in post #40 stats). Ad revenue for the year grew four percent, to $737 million
