STARLOG Ceases Publication...

[awe4one]

Though they say it's only temporary, I can't see them restarting a print publication in this environment. I haven't read Starlog regularly in many years, used to be a subscriber, but when I did, I very much enjoyed it.

 

Makes me wonder how long CBG or Wizard will last in printed form...

I used to buy it in the 70's the odd time it made it onto the news stands in the UK. Sign of the times for most print publications I'm afraid.

Ditto... which is, unfortunate.

Well considering I only pay for real magazines and never for digital ones they should be able to make a profitable business out of that.

Unless I'm not the norm

 

The magazine is too slick in its current format and they should look to decreasing their printing costs before ceasing publication IMO

 

They should also be a little more objective rather than kiss-assed about every movie. Putting out more niche magazines would be more interesting than a monthly broad interest mag.

I find articles of a lot of the movies/shows of no interest to me because they are too juvenile or of a part of the SF genre I have no interest in.

I used to read that when I was a kid and haven't picked it up in several years. Another print victim...hopefully they can regroup, but the magazine biz is just getting too brutally competitive.
