The Fly Fishing Magazine Industry is Dying...
The spring issue of Fly Rod & Reel, the only print magazine I read regularly and to which the shop subscribes besides the FFF and TU publications, was the last. Greg Thomas, the editor, talks about it here.
Today, I got an email from a magazine to which I contribute one or two articles a year noting dramatically reduced pay rates, that they were cutting page counts in the magazine, etc. etc. I have not been paid for a story that appeared in the Fall 2016 issue, and I'm now starting to doubt I will be. I bet they don't last another year.
I don't really have much else to say except that this is a sad state of affairs..
