For Those Keeping Tally: 275 Magazines Launch, 428 Fold in 09

275 Magazines Launch, 428 Fold in 09
(via MarketingCharts)

"The number of folded magazines far outnumbered new titles in 2009, according to statistics released by MediaFinder.com, which reported that the difficult economic year saw 275 new magazines launch and 428 cease publication."

Robert's Ramblings: There is no doubt that 2009 has been a hard year for print media, so I am surprised at how many new magazines were launched. It's refreshing to see such optimism in the midst of so many doomsayers shouting through megaphones. I salute your bravery, new magazine publications, and I hope you see great success in the coming year and beyond.
