I think it’s dumb and maybe I think it’s dumb and maybe ghoulish. Who cares? I expect most of the editors/publishers have had their memorial services and moved on – maybe to reincarnate at some point. Mags and zines come and go. Utne is not, after all, dealing with the mainstream mags. I wonder what their criteria is…ie. how they decide who’s dead and who’s alive. We stopped sending them free copies awhile back, so does that make us dead? Definitely not – we’ve been around for 34 years but have decided (a few times over the years) that there is no need to feed their editorial needs.
Dead mags
The Utne Reader has announced the founding of its Dead Magazine Club. Is this ghoulish, or a fitting memorial?
