Magazines at some point become hostage to their own success.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Publishing magazines for yourself is not good business, man.
I don't buy these rag magazines that feed off of stolen, you know, press. They're basically stealing someone's image in order to make money for themselves... They wait at the end of my street in their cars. Every time I exit my home, I have company.
Most magazines have peak moments. They live on, they do just okay, or they die. 'The New Yorker' has had a very different kind of existence.
Magazines that depend on photography, and design, and long reads, and quality stuff, are going to do just fine despite the Internet and cable news.
One of the things I regret is that magazines now are so lifestyle-orientated that the opportunity to do bigger projects is gone. This is a serious misjudgment on the part of magazine editors.
There are a lot of magazines that are still sort of... that only cater to a certain demographic and only put certain people on their covers.
A magazine is simply a device to induce people to read advertising.
I never buy magazines, I never even buy books.
The magazine was being started by a company that had no experience in business magazine publishing. It was a little difficult to get people to sort of buy into it and to join the staff, but we did.
The only magazines I read are car magazines.
