favourite little magazine of the moment ... Maisonneuve

 

as a journalist, I love little generalist, political and literary magazines  ("We all began in a little magazine": Norman Levine), esp. Montreal-based ones, so in this case Maisonneuve really fills the bill:

 Always eclectic, and some good writing.

got the recent issue, and despite the big turnover -- founding editor Webester off the Reader's Digest, and managing editor decamps to Vancouver -- the quality and even the size (64 pp.) have improved this issue

 in any case, catch the photo-essay on the poor people of lower East Side Vancouver that it is whiting out during the Olympics.

Good work!

I had subscriptions to both Walrus and Maisonneuve (both of which I love) but I let them lapse without renewing because I have so much reading material here already that I just couldn't handle reading them - and besides all the print material I have, I'm also reading on my computers about seven hours every day..

People still read magazines?

How quaint!

Where does their advertising revenue come from, surely not the Federal Gubmint.

a mixed bag, from what I see, some subsidies, some sales revenues ...

paper is here to stay, unpopular view, but I am persuaded it is true ...

It'll be interesting to see if people start to read magazines on ereaders like the Kindle. The Kindle's wireless network will download magazines directly to the reader.

I've got a Kindle 2, and it is just marvelous for novels. Can't imagine reading another printed novel in my life. Can't say if magazine readers would like it or not.
