ughhh so i guess no one noticed that the editor, Don Hellinger, commented on this post and also Gawker's that this only applies to people who receive comp copies?

@ratherbesleeping: I kind of feel like the misinformation is a conspiracy by Missbehave, since they are a direct competitor to Nylon.

Did they tell their subscribers this, or is it just kind of like SURPRISE! Less bang for your buck!

Isn't the whole point of magazines to have something to read while you're in the bathroom? I'm not taking my laptop in there with me.

@maneki_neko: The sales guy at Best Buy, while I was applying for internet, "I take my laptop into the bathroom with me all the time!" I don't know what kind a sales pitch that was but it did not work.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: the cover of Nylon looks like how it feels to be on cocaine.

@morninggloria: Will try to remember to credit you when I steal that. The mag does smack of effort - but I've got to admit they're doing it better than most fashion mags out there. Maybe that's just because their new fashion ed is the coolest person on the planet.

Ahrg! I got a free subscription a year ago. Totally gonna call. Plus my roommate's band is in the next one! They gave him flan at the photoshoot. /shameless plug

I have to say, they were not too impressed when I showed them that the latest issue had LiLo on the cover.

We started sending our advisors digital copies of our magazines this year. We told them it's our effort to "do our part" for the environment. By which we mean, it's our effort to not go under by slashing our print budget by more than half.

This is annoying. I am not a subscriber, but I like magazines because I can carry them, and they are easy to read on the treadmill/stationary bike. That is their purpose in my world.

@undomesticgoddess is feministastic: That is what I like about paper media. Sometimes I like to move away from my computer, people! Sometimes I like to read without getting tension headaches and backaches!

And get off my lawn!

WHAT? If they stopped sending my office (and I presume ever other designer on the planet) freebie issues for people who haven't worked there for OVER FOUR YEARS NOW despite me notifying them dozens of times then MAYYYYBE they'd have more money.

Also what am I going to use to butter up interns with now? No freebie issues? FOR SHAME.

then they should of done their research. It's unclear whether or not it's greener to read on-line or to make magazines because of the sheer amount of energy it takes to run servers, mine for computer parts, and build and run those computers.

No doubt they're making their writers write the same stories, with the same amount of work and reporting, for a tenth of the former fee. That's what magazines do when they switch to the Internet.

@rmric0.now.with.more.free.time: Yep! 'Great story. Now can you write a shorter version for the web, plus a few other pieces, too? And get photo research to find new pics -- or maybe you can just take care of that. Too bad we had to fire all our online staff. Well, at least you still have a job!'

@rmric0.now.with.more.free.time: Right, like they are doing you the hugest favor ever by letting you work for them for free. As if people in journalism didn't already have these things called "internships."

I can't wait for this model to fall on its face and die so something else can take its place.

@hortense: True fact: I spent New Years 2000 at a slumber party, locked in the bathroom with my friend because we were fighting with our other 2 friends at the sleepover. We were in middle school. Is that what Nylon wants me to do?
