I’ve noticed fewer and fewer magazines on the racks at local convenience stores and it makes me wonder what’s happening?
There are a lot of reasons that could account for it, but my favorite is that more people are reading electronically.
Still, the magazine rack at my local CVS is less than half it’s size one year ago, and it is surrounded by college student apartments. The 7-11 across the street has removed almost all of it’s magazines.
Of course it could also be any of or combinations of:
- More people buying magazines at bookstores
- Red Box outside the building
- Bad economy (less disposable income)
- Changes in reader interest
- Using Twitter instead
- Less reading overall
