For all of you out there who feel print isn’t dying, only evolving…I bring you Netflix for magazines! It’s called Maghound, and you get any three magazines for about $4 each month (unlike Netflix, no you don’t return them. You keep them forever.) I thought this was an interesting turn of events, making magazines cheaper in light of folks not buying them and getting information off the web.
The selection is OK, but growing (they say). I’m kind of ticked they don’t offer international mags. Lately I’ve been eyeing Elle Decor in the grocery store, but haven’t felt moved to purchase it. Maybe this is the opportunity I’ve been waiting for? There’s a free month trial. So maybe I’ll do that. Haha.
Making prints cheaper may be part of the solution, though the big issue is still lack of relevant content most times. Publications really need to get on that.

lady brett spoke on Sep 07 09 at 7:13 pmthat’s interesting. i think i would have a hard time keeping up with three magazines a month, but that’s just a matter of my magazine habits – i find they lend themselves particularly to lonely saturday mornings with a cup of coffee. at that rate i only just get through my oxford american before the next one. (but, regarding good content, that is definitely a mag to check out.)

i for one will always have a place in my heart for print publications. i just interact with books and magazines differently, and certain things about them are just… better. cosier.

splitun spoke on Sep 12 09 at 3:55 amThanks for posting. Since my budget came into effect, my magazines have been down to $0. Three mags are good for me (once there’s Living)and they allow you to change subscriptions when you want to. awesome.
