Yep it's a shame but the reality in our digital media age....why didn't they keep a digital version with a supporting YT channel? Or did they?

I've subscribed to magazines that went out of business, and instead of a refund they just transferred my subscription to another magazine - that bore little resemblance to the one I'd paid for.

I subscribe to both Outdoor Photography and Digital Photography. In reading over a review of a new camera recently in Outdoor Photography, I thought it sounded familiar. Sure enough, although it had been reformatted, it was the same review that had appeared in Digital Photography (which, by the way, is going more and more toward video). And I had subscribed to both Modern Photography and Popular Photography ever since I was in high school. I guess they'll be disappearing before long.

Hi all! Professional Photographer is a quality magazine. Hopefully it continues to be a go to.

No, I was digital only through iTunes. Good news on my front.... Apple refunded my entire subscription cost of $37.99. Just got the email this morning. My understanding is that a lot of mags from across the pond to the US are delayed. Cova collateral.

The most popular is Steve Perry.
The other seldom posts so I do not recall his name.

Yes indeed, magazines are a dying breed. I always enjoyed Road & Track, and I still get it but it is a far cry from days of old. I think the last issue had one detailed car review, with the cross view and a full page of specs & data. Pictures were always excellent. Now it is reviews on car racing software or sometimes an article I can't figure out what it is about. They had some great editors and writers.... sorry if this is off topic.

Actually I do not think it off topic. Most magazines, periodicals and news papers suffer from the same thing.

Even investigating journalism has suffered as no one pay attention to the result preferring 'juicy instant sound bites'....

NOW we are getting off topic... Sorry.

JohnK, I think all of us who have been around for a while have lost a lot of our favorite magazines in all genres.

In photography, I remember The Rangefinder, a magazine free to professionals but not available to the public (I did weddings back in the 1970s).

And as a fisherman I miss Sports Afield, and though Field & Stream is still around, it's nothing like it used to be.

I innocently subscribed to PhotoPlus March 3, gave them my $146 for the digital and print versions. Though I get the digital issues I have yet to receive the first print issue or the binder that was part of the deal. PhotoPlus claims it is because of Covid19 shipping issues that they are unable to ship the print version. Since I have received my EOS magazine regularly during that same time, I've come to believe that PhotoPlus is just making excuses. Since it's been so long I can't pull back my credit card payment. I won't make that mistake again with them.

I now post on any of the PhotoPlus Facebook posts I find that US potential subscribers should be aware of this failure.

A lot of things ... are like a lot of things.
This is the third decade of the 21st Century, and Times Have Changed.
I had my Kodak, Moskva, Iskra and various Zeiss cameras- magazines filled many blanks.
And my film Nikons, up to my EMs. Something new was always made.
I've got my "old" Nikons I'm sending to various relatives. A "spare" D80, 2 D200s, a D3000, a D3100.
My D80 still takes pictures as good as my D600. The colors are better sometimes.
Except for some menu options, they're kinda the same camera. They take the same quality pictures.
This century I've not printed over 8x10. My D7100 took *exactly* the same pictures as my D3200.
I subscribed to many magazines. You a buddy? Get a mag sub for Xmas. Liked it? New one next year.
Pop Photo was nice and easy, and I liked perusing their ads. And Shutterbug. And .. and ... and ..
Outdoor Photography had nice pictures. MAYbe a little overdone, but nice. Quickly "uninformative", tho.
Wedding mags churned it's readers every 18 months, so content recycling wasn't a problem.
Cosmo, Elle, other fashion rags- takes about three years before the readers get relationships and a job.

So yeah, it's the Internet. I find a POS, I look up butkus. I've got "official" PDFs for each oddy.
You've noticed before I like Google and Youtube. Rockwell, Snapchick, Fro and Northrup led the way
Plus the "others". I looked up and copied them; then a few more hours of other "brand names".
I decided to trade in my well used D7100 for my barely used Nikon refurbed D600. A "Good Deal".
How many months and magazines would it take to get that 5 hours of information? "Unbiased"?
I had stopped magazines- every other page, the whole back half, all the articals and reviews- ads.
I too have nostalgia for that time. And film! I also have a few years of N-Photo in digital format. Plus every manual of every camera, flash and software. And cars. And computers. All just "right there".
This is the end of Aquarius. Cell phones will replace cameras. iPads will replace computers.
An all electric world- solar will replace gas pipes, and no more gas/diesel vehicles.
I have no idea what comes after us mammals. But they won't understand why we had magazines.

When Popular Photography went out of business, they transferred the rest of my subscription to Popular Mechanics. Later they made changes to their web site or iPad app so I can’t access my digital copies on their webiste.

Well said.
