Off Topic » The death of the printed motorcycle magazine

Finally got to read my July/August issue of Motorcyclist magazine, and read in the front that this issue will be the last printed issue. It saddens me that printed media is going away as I am a little old school and appreciate printed magazines and books. I am not the total snob, as I do have a tablet and read books on Kindle, but I also prefer my magazines in print.
Did some internet research and found an article that states thart Millenials are being drawn back to print just like vinyl records are making the comeback, so maybe there is some hope. I have also noticed that online sports magazines and websites have even moved away from writing and there are more articles that merely switch you over to a youtube video where they can just talk rather than write. That too I also dislike. What are your guy's opinions on the matter?

Well I certainly am not happy about the trend. I have read every issue of Cycle World since February 1962 (I still have that issue and others from the 1960's) and have been subscribing to Motorcyclist magazine since the Peterson Quarterlies of the early 1970's. The Bonnier Corporation, publisher of CW and Motorcyclist, along with many other motorsport magazines (which they are also ceasing to print) has pretty much killed off print magazines in the U.S. Meanwhile UK magazines like Bike, seem to be thriving and providing interesting content, with great photos and at a lower price in the U.S. than the now useless Cycle World publication.
