Magazines Sites Pay Off?

A Columbia Journalism Review report on magazine Web sites says there is no uniform editing approach for the online versions, but some are making money with no-pay access.

A New York Times story on the report stated: "There was wide variance in most of the answers to survey questions - how and whether the sites made money, for one. Only a third of the Web sites reported making a profit."

It also stated that editing was less important to the Web versions than print, sparking concerns about quality. -- Joe Strupp
