XXL Ends Print Edition Of Magazine After 17 Years

[kudaz]

The internet is killing magazines off to.. The Digital Market is the only market making you a profit.. Losing money doesn’t feel good… They will continue online through their website.. and you can still purchase it through iTunes I am assuming .. No more physical copies.. At one point I had a stash in my closet of about 70 of XXL’s.. Today is a sad day.

“We think XXL has strong potential in both the digital and live events market.” – Bill Wilson

“We incubated something digitally, but the Townsquare people can take it to the next level with their digital expertise. I don’t think it is a cost-cutting thing. I think it is an opportunity for Townsquare to do more with [the franchise].” – Ben Harris

That sucks, but I understand their point of view

Times like these make you say, fuck the internet. HashtagArmishParadise ...no one wants to own a digital XXL. And for the love of God, if its gonna be your final print, at least have every popular issue, or every rapper that shot for the front cover into one large collage, not fuckin Nas.

That's an old Nas cover they used just to headline the article.
