Serials: 90 Magazines Launched in First Half of 2010, Down from 187 New Titles in First Half of 2009

From the Announcement:

Ninety magazines launched in the first half of this year, down from the 187 new titles that launched in 2009 for the same period, according to MediaFinder, the largest online database of U.S. and Canadian publications.

At the same time, only 87 magazines folded this year as opposed to 279 in the first half of 2009; and 16 print magazines converted to online only formats as opposed to 43 in 2009. The leading launch category was food, with 10 new titles, including ChopChop magazine and Better Homes & Gardens Anyone Can Cook. The home category was the biggest loser with 10 shuttered titles, including Lofts and Condos and Mountain Home. At the same time, five new titles launched in the home category, including Country Home Decorating Flea Market Style .

Among business-to-business magazines, 35 titles folded during the same period, including Appliance and Printing News. At the same time, 17 new titles launched, including Sustainable Engineering and First Chair; and seven dropped their print editions, including American Machinist.

“More magazine titles would have ceased publication but fortunately were acquired and continued publication,” said Trish Hagood, President of Oxbridge Communications, Inc., publisher of MediaFinder.com. “Smaller companies took advantage of the opportunity to buy magazines from Reed Business Information and Nielsen Business Media, who were struggling to divest themselves quickly of many b-to-b titles.”

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.
