US magazine publisher Rodale has cut 40 jobs. I mention this to note that Australian magazine publishers and distributors are not alone facing the challenges of disruption and to offer another example of changes we can expect in 2016.
Everywhere I look I see too many magazine titles chasing a declining interest in print. The only solution as I see it is fewer titles. Fewer magazine publishers would allow publishers to get a larger piece of the pie. However, that is unlikely to happen in the short to medium term.
