Rising Postage Costs: Death for Independent Printed Publications
July 15th, 2007 in Web Design Culture
by: Matthew Griffin
Postage has gone up in price several times in the last few years but what you may not know is that the last increase included an additional increase for magazines. For many small independent printed publications, unfortunately, this may be the beginning of the end.
However, necessity is the mother of invention as they say. So as a member of the new media community, I would like to encourage my colleagues to use this hurdle as an incentive to push failing publications to the web. An internet model will sound like a great alternative to shutting down completely. Let’s face it; we are the future and this blow from the post office may just be the shock that forces the media industry to get creative with their delivery.
