[quote=flu] It’s not just newspaper though. Magazines are hurting too. ….[/quote]

Yeah, I left that out, but was including them in my analysis (did so in an earlier post). I certainly won’t spend the money their publishers want at the newstand. Most times, the content is mostly bullshit, and often it is available on the Web.

[quote=flu] I had a free trial subscription for a few magazines in the auto,news,finance, and 2 years later after cancelling them, they keep sending them to me, even though I’ve called them every 6 months confirming I’m not a subscriber…[/quote]

You have to make sure that a magazine company or distribution outlet doesn’t have your credit card number, or else they’ll keep you on as a subscriber forever, continuing to charge your card. Years ago, my daughter bought a CD in a store, and naively agreed to their offer of a “free” mini-subscription to a magazine of her choice. You should have seen us trying to get that stopped. Luckily, my husband displaced our debit card, and we had to get new ones. Otherwise, I’d still be receiving that rag, and probably 6 or 7 others.
