It used to be bigger in size and printed on newsprint.
It was Analog eBay. A paper for people to get to read the adds. And trade in
the stuff they?ve owned for two months for something more fresh. But with
phone calls and the mail.
Not so many people read the editorials.
I don?t know of another paper like that!!
If there is a plus side to the much fewer use of print on the trees which
are left it may be that people just have more respect for a print now. It's
not thought of it as junk with writing or an image on it.

I do believe the print version of Shutterbug is over. I had a
subscription
for a couple decades, and a few months ago, they gave some ?Wired?
magazines to run out my term. It had gotten to be a mere shadow of
itself,
with virtually no classifieds. The only thing keeping it going was a
few
pages of B&H.
