Perhaps this redesign will make more of a cultural impact than 2002's efforts.

Is Digital Marketing Killing Magazine Ads?BY Jason BaerA report last week by the Publishers Information Bureau found that advertising pages in the nation’s magazines declined by 7.4% compared to the first half of 2007.

On Wednesday, the world saw a spine-tingling photo of an Iranian multiple-missile launch. On Thursday, we learned the image had been altered, apparently by Iran's Sepah News agency, to add another missile and make it scarier. Today, Wired rounds up the free world's response.

I've been writing for a long time about the new competitors that traditional B2B publishers are finding on the Web.Whether we're talking about Web-only publishers, editors who strike out on their own, sources who become publishers, or marketers who become journalists, the days in which the only competition that a typical, monthly B2B magazine faced was another monthly magazine are long gone.And now we can add one more to the list of Web-based competitors -- ...
