The Not-So-Sudden Death of The Advocate

Nov 5th, 2009 | 2 responsesPosted by OIA Staff in Opinion by Judy Wieder

In case you haven’t read the “official stories” or the gossip, Regent Media, the latest owner of The Advocate–once the national LGBT newsmagazine of record for America (41-years-old exactly!)–is reducing the publication to a 32-page mini-mag, taking it off the newsstands, and packaging it up with its “sister” publication, Out magazine. Subscribers will get a magazine they never wanted (Out) and, of course, the still-free website.

What the hell happened?

    What a shame. Everybody, both gay and straight, knows the Advocate.

    PRINT media continues to fold. WHY? Because the internet has changed the way we recieve our news. It’s faster and cheaper. And advertisers are seeing it as well, they are now shifting their dollars to the Internet. Internet is king. Many print publications will die. It costs too much to run and distribute a print publication vs pennies to run a huge news site, and let the readers come to you!
