Indie Print media
http://m.theargus.co.uk/news/11705559.Shop_only_selling_independent_magazines_opens_in_Brighton/?ref=mr
I popped in here at the weekend and treated myself to a copy of Free and Easy for 16 pounds..
At the time I thought why bother? I can get all the reference images I want online..but when flicking through the pages it dawned on me it is actually a whole different experience not looking at a back lit screen...the eye seems to take in a great deal more with the printed image..
Going from the interview with this chap, the magazine could easily go the way of the record shop and attract a core following of die hard customers willing to shell out for things they cant get through the mainstream.. or aren't appeased with from just looking online

It's a funny thing, a mucca of mine's son is trying to get into journalism and we nearly spluttered into our Nespresso's when he said "People think print journalism is dead, but......"

There was an article in the Washington Post the other day how Millennials still are stuck to print. I am a devoted print newspaper reader myself and also love quality magazines done on proper stock like Garden & Gun and Alpinist.

My employers, The Lakeville Journal Company, publish three weeklies — The Lakeville Journal, The Millerton News, and The Winsted Journal. We have about 14 full-timers in editorial for the three papers, and a few of part-timers. We are one of the last remaining independent ownerships anywhere in the U.S., not just New England.
Which doesn't mean we're getting rich, but it does mean we're getting through.
Plus I got the phrase "butt plug" in my review of "50 Shades of Grey."

. However, I was keeping track, and I counted, at most, 18 shades of actual grey things.

^We've become overburdened with image capturing - it has effectively destroyed the art of street photography - nothing is candid, the decisive moment is gone.
