Physical Magazines and Newspapers in general are going to continue to go the way of the dinosaurs, the entire publishing industry as well as the printing, logistics, retail segment that distributed them have been spiraling for years.
Normally I would say this is a good thing as the internet is far more expansive and instantaneous. By the time physical print comes out, it's already yesterday's news. I've been watching old videos about the industry and marvelled that for a time, there were morning, noon, and evening papers and journalists used to start their shifts at 3AM just to get certain editions out to print in time.
The biggest issue with the internet is that there are no-longer any restrictions, no editors, no professional journalists writing articles and responsibly reporting the news. Millions of people wake up every day to coffee and conspiracy theories on Facebook and fully believe in this stuff which is destroying our neighbor to the south.
