3/25/05 - Magazine changes for its times New Feature:
ZURICH Afew weeks ago, a publication that its loyal, if small, group of readers had given up for dead began appearing in mailboxes from New York to Caracas. Printed on glossy stock, with a sophisticated layout and now issued as a monthly magazine, the publication Aufbau bore little resemblance to the storied newspaper (originally a weekly but later issued every two weeks) that until one year ago had chronicled and helped influence New York's Jewish population for more than 70 years.

3/25/05 - Farewell to Newspapers:
March 24, 2005 -- Does anybody read newspapers anymore? And if so, why? There was a time, just three years ago, when I got three newspapers each morning. Living in Silicon Valley, I, of course, subscribed to the San Jose Mercury News. I bought it for the business stories, the movie listings and neighborhood news. Having once worked for the paper, there was a nostalgia factor as well.

3/25/05 - Media Post's Magazine Rack: The Atlantic Monthly:
READING THE ATLANTIC Monthly is a rigorous intellectual exercise. The magazine's blocky, graphics-lite design doesn't exactly encourage casual perusal; its long, involved stories demand the reader's undivided attention. This ain't toilet-reading material, unless you've got a medical condition that, uh, detains you for extended stretches.

3/25/05 - The CPM Disparity:
NEWSWEEK MAGAZINE'S RATE CARD LISTS an open rate of $231,000 for a page four-color bleed. Based on their rate base of 3,100,000 the cost per thousand readers reached (CPM) is $74.52. The published rate card for Newsweek.com however, does not list any rates. Sports Illustrated publishes an open rate of $279,450 and a rate base of 3,150,000. This equates to a CPM of $88.71. The published rate card for SI.com does not list any rates. People magazine reports an open rate of $216,200 for a page four-color bleed. At a rate base of 3,350,000, the magazine delivers a CPM of $64.54. The rate card for People.com however, fails to deliver any rates. Three of the most well known magazines in the media industry are keeping their rates to advertise online a secret. That is because the big secret in online advertising is that there are no rates. By no rates, I mean there is no official cost per entry to run advertising online with these world wide established content brands.
