As the economic picture darkened somewhat in recent months, it became clear that tough times were likely ahead for much of the print newspaper business. ...
I do feel for publishers and editors looking for expense cuts, and so want to offer a suggestion that seems to me long overdue. I think it’s past time to eliminate print newspaper Sunday magazines.
First, let me be clear: I am not advocating eliminating the best longform stories that continue to distinguish many of these magazines. Rather, I think those stories should be redeployed to other sections and published throughout the week (as they often already are online), or placed elsewhere in Sunday papers.
