Parade joins print demise parade
Parade Magazine,
which first appeared in print in 1941 with Marshall Field as its creator, will
end its print life after the November 13 edition.
Parade will join
the parade to digital-only (online) media.
The Arena Group,
which also has Sports Illustrated, bought Parade this year and quickly lost
interest in print versions.
By 2013, Parade was the most widely
read magazine in the United States with a circulation of 32 million and a
readership of 54 million. No any more. More amazing crash than the 1928
stock market version.
New York Herald
Tribune publish John Hay Whitney purchased Parade in 1958. Booth Newspapers became
the new owner in 1973. By 1976 it was an Advance Publications subsidiary.
Newspapers are
dying at the rate of two every week in America. 2,500 have closed since 2004!
Only trees are
benefitting from the switch from rolling newspaper presses to online versions.
Certainly not democracy, which is losing its watchdogs of political obscenities
and financial immorality.
