    Reminds me going to the library and viewing the microfilm of newspaper or magazine articles for news storys I was working on.

    I miss the journalism magazines brought to the world. Someone would go out and meet with a celebrity, politician or “average Joe,” have a conversation and write about it. Add in photography and suddenly the reader is taken into a new world and experience.
    Now, as the collector describes, it’s a few taps of the thumb and a few swipes and information is there… but not necessarily the “human touch” that magazine articles once provided.
    This is why I enjoy CBS SM so much.

    I still love magazines. I read Readers Digest all the time, my only magazine by mail. Use to have more subscriptions, but I am on the Internet a lot.

    I grew up in the 80s and 90s. That was the last hurrah for magazines. The internet killed print media. I remember the September issue of Vogue with Naomi Campbell on the cover. It was 800 pages long. The September issue of 2020 was 200 pages long. Magazines are a dying media and i am devastated.

      That was one of my go to's at the magazine section when my mom would be grocery shopping. I was there for 30-60 minutes alone just hanging out reading...hard to imagine that being acceptable now.

    Great story, brought back memories of reading in many school libraries, doctor and dentist offices! (Ironic that the collector is a doctor.) However, pre-internet, if I needed to learn about something, I didn't go to a magazine, I went to an encyclopedia (usually several to get a range of editorial opinions). Magazines were more like favorite TH-cam channels, information in small doses pleasantly presented that would educate and entertain. I remember stopping my subscription to Popular Science when it shifted from well written articles to micro stories geared for readers with shorter attention spans.

      My BF from college's dad was a doctor & they would get all the magazines delivered to their house first, then take them into the office after they read them.

    My nostalgias: Mademoiselle Magazine, which was geared to the educated young woman. Lear's, Frances Lear's tribute publication to the vital older woman. Highlights for Children, for the developing young mind; I do believe it is still with us!

      The Saturday Evening Post, also. You won't find it on newsstands now because it's not cost effective. It's a bimonthly (6 issues per year) and is a great publication. I recently got my Sept./Oct. '21 issue in fact.

    Were magazines really about articles of interest and photos? Somewhat. But magazines were just cramed with ads, ads and more ads and advertisements. To buy, buy, and just buy. I don't miss them one bit. But the store shelves are still stocked with them at such huge prices. I wouldn't waste a dime on them, their just one big advertisement, page after page after page. Their nothing but waste, waste, waste that clutters up the mind.
