    They failed to embrace digital media and put a tranny on the cover of the swimsuit issue. That’s like pulling a Kodak and a Bud Light move at the same time. Good riddance.

    I have spent the majority of my adult life in marketing, I have seen the landslide downhill of all print media, Example, No realestate pages showing houses listed, its on internet, Very little auto advertising ! without advertisers print mgt has to cut back somewhere, usually not sales people, so its writing staff,, so lately you have got the bottom of the gutter in writers, its a snowball, terrible articles lead to less and less sales, subscribers flee, advertisers flee, sales force flee,s your left with a shell. then some to stupid things to try to get back, like going woke, then the bottom really falls out.
