Motorcycle Consumer News is dead

(02-05-2020, 07:05 AM)Gone in 60_imp Wrote: Like, dead dead? I got an email a while back, saying that upon my next renewal, I'd have the option of renewing the print copy for a lot more, or continuing with a digital-only subscription for the price I was paying already. I read the articles on my phone now anyway, so if it didn't die altogether, I was going to renew the digital version.

Surprised it lasted this long, really. I work in the publishing business, and have seen the steady decline of print over the years. On 12/6/20, TEN, the last gasping vestige of the once huge Petersen Publishing empire, killed all remaining print titles except for three: Hot Rod, Motor Trend, and Four Wheeler. The following week, they had their normal booth at the Performance Racing Industry show, and they had news racks full of their magazines to show their "extensive reach" into the automotive market. Everyone thought that was a little weird, especially when most of their show staff were shopping their resumes with the other businesses at the show. They will continue a confusing array of websites to try to salvage ad revenue from the people who were spending money to keep them alive.

Changing times.

Well, just read the sad notice on their website. Bummer.

I am very interested in your Time Machine! Is it made by Honda?

Did Trump get re-elected?
