Advertising pages for business-to-business magazines plunged 31.54% in February and declined 29.70% during the first quarter (down 26.95% in January). Consumer magazines saw ad pages plunge 25.9% during the first quarter, according to the Publishers Information Bureau. Fewer ads means less paper consumed.
Fewer advertisements, fewer readers - less paper used - I can only assume the internet has continued to eat away at the 'power of the written word'. This is a shame.
