Are Magazines on the Verge of Extinction?
The web, or magazines? Lately after the explosion of the World Wide Web all kinds of media started to struggle:TV, radio, magazines, newspapers etc. Being pushed against the wall by the enormous online information resource it is really hard time for them. Fortunately the battle is not over yet because they all got the flexibility of adaptation. And where the competitions is you can see the innovation and development. The consumer is the winner after all because the competition pushes both parties to improve good experience and quality.
The web beats them all in terms of quantity ... but the quality has always been the heavier ingredient! For Monster Squad magazines have this strong effect when you touch the flashy cover and open it, stunning design, overwhelming articles that you enjoy so much and finally the pleasure of collecting them.
Quality is exactly what magazines are chasing because the web is still not well regulated and I really doubt that it could ever be. Tons of chaotic, useless information is spilled all over the online community, and this is what makes it sometimes really unpleasant place to be. All these spammers chasing you with pop ups, viruses trying to compel you to buy an antivirus, annoying redirects, AdSense portals just lose so much of your time and on top of that make you a headache. If you are an experienced online surfer you could dodge these obstacles easily but a Viagra Information of people can't or just like it old school - comfortable swinging chair next to the fire place, a glass of old classy whiskey, a purring cat in your lap and sucking info from the favourite magazine or newspaper.
The web has got more quality than all the medias combined together but the hard part is to find it. You can always subscribe to a magazine and receive a particular info for a particular price, generic Viagra is nice and is enough for some... but not for all. The open-minded people won't consider offline media as enough and will chase the rest. Of course they will not underestimate the professional pieces of art of magazines and TV too. They will embrace them all. You will have to find the balance if you want to be really well informed. And this is the world's secret. Being informed is all the fuss about. It makes you stronger, smarter. You can then communicate more easily and more efficiently with the world. Reading a single article in a magazine can change your life, give you ideas, open new horizons.
The web is structured mostly by people who are not paid for this, little hooligans and all kind of unprofessional writers which in some point is beautifully innocent but highly unprofessional and time consuming. I'd say let's not underestimate them as these people are the ones that are forming one of the biggest miracles in our world!
