He says that their big problem is that they were dependant on page-advertisements, I wonder if he just gave up on it because he thinks its a failed model, a priori anyway?
And to be clear I am pretty much blindly speculating here, not knowing much about the issue.

Its also interesting that one of the comments in the article was ‘I would’ve bought 3 years of subscriptions to this magazine had I known it was in trouble, I was waiting for an iPad version’. News Flash, /every/ piece of print media is teetering on the edge, if you’ve ever wanted it, /now/ is the time to start supporting it.
