Great to hear from these editors …. having been in the industry a long time, this of course makes me sad; a lot of losses this year and no doubt more to come. A part of me wants there to be a retro movement a few years down the track, in the same vein as the rise and rise of the vinyl record, but maybe I’m dreaming….
All I know is that reading anything on a device isn’t the same as holding the paper version. I will continue to miss the lack of intimacy it brings.
