LIFE

Time Inc. has taken away the life support from LIFE. Like its other flagship magazine, Time, nobody is reading LIFE magazine anymore (unless you count Vincent, relics from the 60s).

  1. I didn't get to read LIFE very often but I think it's like the National Geographic without the geography part. Great photos are their trump cards.

    I think dead-tree editions of magazines are having a hard time making ends meet. Last year Forbes Asia invited me to subscribe to the bi-weekly for one year at HK$77 only. I obliged.

    I found that it's printed in Singapore and mailed all the way to HK. How can they survive on HK$77 a year per copy if not for the advertising revenue? The regular annual subscription rate is HK$510 though.

    Survey says: No one is reading the bible anymore. Magazines/books come and go. For the last 5 years, I have been subscribing 'The Economist'. I think I will do the same in the next five. FYI, I haven't been reading the bible for a long time.

    thanks for the link. Seems like some serious Chinese literature research stuff there. Interesting.

    I always think The Economist is cool. And I have to say I rather like their acid-tongued writing style. I used to subscribe it when I was in college, now every now and then I will get free copies from the mail room.

    I read the Bible since grade school and I even took the HKCEE Biblical Exam and got a C from it. Now my time is sucked up from reading "real people" second rate writings i.e. blogs.

    I love you all Guys.
