NYT: Rolling Stone to Switch to Smaller, Rack-Friendly Format

Ratings

2 of 5 stars
What’s this?

“Gary Armstrong, chief marketing officer for Wenner Media, pointed to Vanity Fair, which has lower overall circulation than Rolling Stone, but nearly three times the single-copy sales. With a standard format, he said, it should be possible to raise newsstand sales significantly.” Probably a smart but nevertheless a somewhat sad economic decision.
