The Weekly Design Magazine World Goes Digital ⇥

Hugo Macdonald:

Design Week‘s circulation fell sharply from 7,777 a week in 2008 to 5,725 last year and now it will exist solely online. “People don’t want to wait until Thursday anymore,” says Myerson. “The web is instant and editorial opinion has been democratised by the presence of blogs. The only print titles that can survive are those that are beautiful, precious, collectible design objects in themselves and that’s not the point of a weekly trade title.”

Precisely.
