We subscribe to three magazines (one monthly and two quarterly) as a family. The kids look forward to their arrival, and we don't have to worry about violence/porn for the little ones. I believe we're going to see a resurgence in "traditional" print media as the novelty of it is picked up by generations who maybe weren't exposed to it much growing up. Like older millennials(35-40) and lower maybe?

Older millennials were still exposed to a lot of print media growing up! I'm 30 and we always had print newspapers and magazines in my house. We ordered clothes from catalogs throughout my childhood. In high school we all read gossip and fashion magazines religiously - Perez Hilton's blog was still a novelty and most teenage girls were reading print magazines on a regular basis. It's easy to forget just how quickly the internet supplanted print media...it wasn't until around 2010 when smartphones went mainstream that people, even young people, started using the internet as their one and only source of information. We're barely a decade into this new world. I do hope print media makes a comeback! It's so relaxing to read something that's not interactive and isn't constantly bombarding you with embedded video players and notifications. I have given away my kindle and returned to reading print books because I felt that I didn't absorb or properly remember the books I read on it - it felt like my brain didn't process the information the same way it does when I read a physical book.
