Last April (2007), International Data Group (IDG) transitioned its magazine, InfoWorld, into an online only publication. A year later, the company reports
...the InfoWorld Web site is generating ad revenue of $1.6 million a month with operating profit margins of 37 percent. A year earlier, when it had both print and online versions, InfoWorld had a slight operating loss on monthly revenue of $1.5 million.
My colleagues and I attempt to track the demise of print publications that have been discontinued in favor of sole digital delivery of the content. There's always a twinge of sadness documenting this trend, so it was nice to finally read this report in The New York Times.
