May will be the last issue of Best Life Magazine, the lifestyle alter-ego to Men's Health. Like MH, it was a well-written publication dense with content for the under 40 male. They will be missed.
But let's face it, it's tough to be in style these days. People are closing their wallets. Last year's fashions are looking fine in the closet. Especially when guys are afraid that layoffs are just around the corner. Needless to say, this translates into lower advertising support, and Best Life was a victim of the squeeze.
Too bad. Good guys. Good work. We wish the entire staff good fortune in their next endeavor.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer was shuttered this past week as well. Incredible. Journalism is a shrinking shrinking field. Criminal. I just read about globalpost.com, one of the first viable biz models for true news in the post-internet world (don't mean to offend anyone who disagrees.) It's a foreign news service by great correspondents around the world. I signed up this week to support it. But hopefully this will continue with other areas of news as well, providing a living to good, solid, ethical news providers/writers.

Thanks for your comment. It's a tough call exactly where we will land. But one thing is certain, true journalists are an essential part of not only news, but democracy.

Labor vanquishes all---not inconstant, spasmodic, or ill-directed labor; but faithful, unremitting, daily effort toward a well-directed purpose. Do you think so?
