I suppose this would be an argument in favor of the print industry not being dead.

  It's not. In fact, it probably it might be the next big thing, again, if done right. To see another example other than HM, check out 8faces (http://8faces.com http://8faces.com). They sold out their first issue within hours, and currently in the progress of selling out 2,500 copies of their second issue.

    In essence, is the transition from print to electronic actually cyclical? As in, will print journalism full transition online only to realize that people still want print? Why would anyone want print when they can get the same information online? Another way of looking at it is, "Why would anyone hassle with reading news online when they can get it delivered to them in print?" There will always exist a market for physical content. I will always prefer to read news off a newspaper than on a screen. Print may never be delivered in "real time" but in the end, do I really need to read articles as they are written? The gradual transition to online nowadays comes as a result of print journalism generally sucking. HN Monthly offers a print subscription to quality news, and that is why it is succeeding. In sum, the argument has nothing to do with convenience or "real time". It's all about content. No matter which delivery method you choose, deliver great content and you will succeed.
