JPG Magazine Says Goodbye

I did not post this to celebrate another failure (as an entrepreneur, I would never do that). I'm mostly just sad that they're not able to break even and continue. And I wonder why they couldn't drop the print magazine and have their loyal members pay to be part of the community. I have to imagine they would if given the chance.

Pingmag ( http://pingmag.jp/ ), a very popular Japanese design magazine (possibly only online, unsure, but it had a stagg), also stopped publishing just now under similar circumstances.

I think a lot of this is unnecessary. Publications, people, heck everything needs to transition in times like these. Everyone needs to become more agile, more efficient and businesses need to cut things down to the bone. Unfortunately a lot of magazines, professional blogs, whatever, are still paying crazy rates and aren't cutting back.. so more will be going to the wall in 3.. 2.. 1..

Ooh, I just wanted to add to this that my last paragraph is not directed at JPG Magazine. Their content sourcing was pretty innovative.
