Only 40 new titles launched this year
 
 
Only 12 new magazines arrived in the US in the second quarter of the year, according to the launch tracker from Samir Husni, also known as Mr. Magazine. The first quarter saw 16 new launches, bring the total for this year to 40 so far.

            According to his post: “The marketplace has been bombarded with book-a-zines that are arriving at a rapid speed that defy any possibility to count and document.

Book-a-zines are everywhere and they are changing the nature of magazines and the retail space magazines used to occupy. Whether at the checkout counters or the mainlines book-a-zines are taking over and those magazines with a regular frequency are taking a back seat, if any seat at all.

            So should we lose hope? Never. I always like to quote the famous Arabic saying,” They who know the work hope, don’t know the word impossible.”
