End of One Era, Start of Another

This was a very difficult decision. I love print. I grew up in a family printing business, my youth infused with the scents of ink, blanket wash, and paper. 

But so much has changed since we took on this magazine back in 1995. Americans read for pleasure 40 percent less than they did 20 years ago; magazine subscriptions have fallen by 56 percent in the US since 2019; at least 3,000 magazines have shuttered their print editions over the past two decades (and many have closed entirely). 

We have bucked this trend, so loving print media that we have subsidized the magazine running deeply in the red for many years.
