That sounds pretty bleak. I followed the link in that bit of the copy, though, and the blogger seems to be saying that it’s harder to be a journalist these days, rather than that magazines are dying.

I’ve worked for lots of independent magazines that don’t pay anything at all – in fact most of the magazines on Stack (thanks for the mention by the way) fall into that category.

It’s unfortunately true that independent magazines do go out of business quicker than their mainstream equivalents, but it’s also true that there are new magazines launching all the time to take their place. Magazines aren’t going anywhere – the world of print publications is changing but it’s not dying.
