Ray Gun magazine

Ray Gun magazines circa 1997 & 1998.

The death of print magazines is… exaggerated?

The year that was 2009 is drawing to a close and data from online magazine database MediaFinder.com reports that 428 titles have ceased publication in 2009, through December 14.

While any magazine going out of business isn’t good news, the silver lining is the total number of foldings this year (although anything could technically happen between now and December 31) is down significantly from 2008 (613) and 2007 (643).

From Print is Dead blog:
