Some Good News for Print

The news for print publications has been brutal over the past few years, as we've seen recently with the latest figures on newspaper circulation. However, there's some good news on the magazine front. The Magazine Publishers of America reports <http://www.magazine.org/advertising/revenue/by_mag_title_qtr/pib-1q-2010.aspx> that 86 magazines sold more ad pages in Q1 2010 than in Q1 2009. A year ago, it was only 15 magazines that could claim an increase in ad pages sold. These are not necessarily the top-grossing magazines in the industry, but it's a sign that things are improving.
