For the 390 U.S. consumer magazines reporting comparable paid and verified numbers, total paid and verified circulation was down approximately 1 percent. Paid subscriptions were down 0.1 percent, and single-copy sales decreased by approximately 10 percent.

Digital editions continue to be a small but growing portion of magazines’ total circulation mix, nearly doubling year-over-year. For the first half of 2013, magazines reported a total average of 10.2 million digital replica editions (paid, verified and analyzed nonpaid), or 3.3 percent of total circulation. This compares with 5.4 million digital editions, or 1.7 percent of total circulation, in the first half of 2012.

RE: Magazine print sales tank

And it goes on.....

April 24, 2014
The death of print continues apace.

Today's victim: The monthly Ladies' Home Journal. After 131 years, the July issue will be its last, reports Ad Age. The website will continue on, and the magazine itself will become a quarterly special-interest publication available starting this fall on newsstands, vs. via subscription. Nonetheless, the entire editorial staff was laid off as part of the change.

LHJ has a circulation of 3.2 million, down from a 1968 peak of 6.8 million, according to parent company Meredith. Subscribers will get one of Meredith's other titles — Every Day with Rachael Ray, More or Better Homes & Gardens — in their mailboxes instead.
