TEN killing 19 titles today. All but HR, MT and Four Wheeler. My response on FB:
Blame the web, BUT there shouldn't be 19 magazines to kill. Over diversification in the 80s and 90s was part of the end too. I bought EVERY performance magazine growing up, even Motor Trend if there was something fast on the cover. When Ford This, Chevy That and Mopar The Other Things from multiple publishers came along that ended. I could no longer try to know everything there was to be read. So in the 90s I got sidetracked and stopped reading. The internet actually brought my interest back. If there is REALLY interest in more than profit there will be ad supported internet versions of the magazines. Not enough material value in online subscriptions. Also there needs to be an electronic archive of ALL car magazines of the past, not just Petersen.
