If you decided a few years to get into print journalism at a dying publication you had to expect this to happen eventually. Print journalism is dying, has been for 10 years.
All that keeps it afloat is habit mainly. there are plenty of mags that survive quite happily in other areas without this and without the falling numbers trend. ,
This one I feel for the people as what they have been through recently is bad but I doubt more than 2 or 3 people work there, most of it is contributor based, and believe me they don't earn enough to make a living.
So yes, if having a brief peruse in a shop is stealing then I am happy to be called a thief. because if the cost of the thing per week was not the cost of most non motoring monthlies, then maybe I might have been tempted to buy it!
