12732575, Where do you see the future of print?
Posted by bigkarma, Fri Feb-20-15 01:13 PM
We are basically in the same field. I did layout and design for various newspapers and trade publications for years, before landing at the publication I'm at now. I'm now the production lead for a gov't based public health publication. We publish both print and online. Over the last few years the print budget has gotten smaller and smaller, and we're forced to do more with less, while our online version is getting more and more robust.

I'm a total magazine junkie as well, at one time having subscriptions to about 10-15 publications between my wife and I, as well as picking up a few more off the rack whenever I hit a newsstand. I recently joined Next Issue, which gives me 100s of mags digitally for $9 a month, and haven't looked back.

So do you see yourself hedging your bets and getting into the digital realm, or sticking with print?
