Newspapers are choking out their final goodbye, while the magazine world, by all accounts, is not fairing much better. Overall, the industry is slimming down after a rough first quarter, and many publications are trying to combat the effects with the largest cover price jump in history. But those numbers are skewed toward bigger competitors who average the most readers yearly, while all but ignoring the smaller trades whose hurt has not been as wide. And not all the mags have been having a hard-go of it: Trash bags People and OK! both saw revenue and units increased, despite an increased sales price. Why? Duh, quality, or inferred quality, of the product:
The strong sales performance of People can be ascribed to high perceived product quality and being a category leader. People has emerged as a huge beneficiary of the In Touch/Life & Style mega price increase strategy. Its revenue was up a staggering $24 million—nearly 19 percent. OK! was the other big winner. By attending to perceived product quality and maintaining a below category cover price, it has gained market share in the tough celebrity field.

I haven't seen any pictures of the once heavily pregnant Holly Goline-and more importantly- any pics of HER baby(ies)
