We publishing people have a special love for ink and paper, for the satisfaction of holding an object that we helped create. At the same time, we must also learn to embrace an increasingly digital future.
Magazine publishers are also facing a rapidly changing industry in which more consumers want to get content online rather than mailed to them each week. While new publications appear every day, like Russian literary magazine SNOB, the question is, in what format will they survive?
While there is something satisfying about the tactile experience of holding an object that contains a wealth of ideas and emotion, the reality is that reading online can be more convenient.
Can the paper-and-ink people of the literary world continue to support paper-and-ink publications, or will we all eventually switch to screens?
