It’s the headline that doesn’t die: bookstores and magazines are dead. Nobody wants print anymore.
But the numbers simply don’t support this.
Not only have historic magazines pivoted, amped up their strategies, and zeroed in on exactly what content their readers care about, but a startling number of new magazines are popping up every month, especially in the travel space.
Airlines that had stopped carrying an airline magazines are adding new ones (even the likes of RyanAir!). Companies are rolling out branding magazines right and left, especially hotels and entities like Airbnb.
Magazines that you can find on the newstand or subscribe to are also still running strong, with independent travel magazines carving out a distinct (and stunning) new approach to print travel media.
All of these magazines have eye-opening storytelling and eye-popping photos at their core and work with freelance writers to help keep their pages filled and interesting to readers.
