Does anyone read magazines any more?


Is it just me, or does anyone read magazines anymore? When I was teen, magazines were an important part of my daily diet. I read everything I could get my hands on, voraciously and indiscriminately. Obvs. new media has steadily encroached steadily on print media's territory, but I still see racks of magazines every time I go to the drug store or the market. However, I rarely see anyone purchasing them.

The closest I get to reading mags these days is either at the salon or on the web. Jezebel's deconstruction of the ladymags is especially fine.
