My suspicions although I know nothing about publishing Posted by MI-Roger [Email] (#882) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MI-Roger) on Sun, 19 Mar 2017 08:11:54 In Reply to: Publishing is a weird business., Noel, Sun, 19 Mar 2017 07:34:23 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Seems like a typical corporate decision.
Maybe this magazine was missing profitability numbers, even with 12 years of what appears to be strong market share. Maybe the Grand Dame of the Hemmings empire was losing money so the thought was to kill Sports & Exotic to transfer subscribers to their Grand Dame.
And maybe it was the weakest magazine in the company, or too far removed from the main corporate direction. I know that the main Hemmings publication always seems short on ads for European cars and parts.
Just need to search out a substitute. One of my other stalwart monthly readings "Classic Motorsports" caters to a higher price point of cars sometimes but has a sister publication called "Grassroots Motorsports" which I think covers the lower budget end of the spectrum.
