Not Ranked
I had two articles published in Custom Kitcar and I am disappointed to see it (apparently) fold, however, I think it really was just a case of when. Kit cars are a very very small market and in this era of instantaneous communications the print media in general is struggling. Further, distribution is a real cartel in print media with up to 95% of the magazine shelf price going to distributers, something all would-be publishers should factor into their business plan.
All the indicators point to the economy being in good shape (in Oz), despite the naysayers' comments, and I believe it is rather disingenuous of Robert to blame the economy if his magazine didn't turn a profit. That stated, I'm sad to see it go.
