I'm not a reader of Linux Journal, but $2.45 an issue is absolute peanuts. Hell, I'm considering buying the next few editions on the off chance the content is interesting.
Creating quality content creation still takes money, even if the print and distribution costs are minimised via digital distribution.
- sigzero 15y agoThey aren't minimized...they are practically non-existent. I will watch the quality of it and see.
- bradfa 15y agoGenerally (the past 2 years at least), if you have been a subscriber and you've provided your email address, they send out a killer deal around Thanksgiving (in the USA, end of November time). $10 for 12 print issues was awesome! I've been a subscriber on and off for quite a few years. I won't be renewing this fall when my current subscription ends. The things covered in the magazine are way to varied for my tastes these days, although I'm sure many people like this. Along with going digital only (I like print), I can't justify paying for what is now in the mag. Sorry LJ. As a side note, Dirt Rag (dirtragmag.com), an awesome mountain biking magazine has just gone to a soy printing process on recycled paper sponsored by Clif Bar. They're not abandoning print (they do have a digital version that's cheaper than print) but embracing that some people still want hard copy and charging a slight premium for it while taking on a small amount of extra premium sponsorship to put out a more "earth friendly" (my term) magazine. I like it. Also, what they write about is what I want to read about, that probably helps too.
