Kansas City dead media tradition is being cut down one publication at a time. And in reality, home-show-pr0n is now readily available and the Internets and even bigger publications satisfy the home coveting fix for causal readers.
Kansas City Homes & Gardens magazine, a staple in Kansas City, is ceasing operations after 27 years.
They had 70K print subscribers at one point according to their media kit . . . That's like a younger cousin to the Star . . . And that's why we see growing resentment among our newsie elite betters who cling to their Dead Tree Media jobs.
I'm surprised The Star hasn't flat lined by now they must have a lot of money coming from somewhere to keep it on life support.
ReplyDeleteThey should just re-brand. Kansas City Beer Pong And Jackassery Magazine
ReplyDeleteDoesn't appeal to the hipsters gentrifiers, rent raisers, interlopers, transients, homogenizers and pussifiers who's idea of gardening is a kale leaf on top of a $11 cup of coffee.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it can be resurrected as "Kansas City Transit Weekly".
ReplyDeleteAll the exciting news about riding the rails sipping your soy latte' and comparing successes and plans with other 24 year-old entrepreneurs. With a cover featuring Diana Kander.

Darnnnn.

And now, KC H & G?
I might as well stop reading.
And, if Sam Brownback has his way, no one in Kansas will know how to read.
Hipsters seem to fuck up everything near them....much like the east side Boon's.

People that read are Democrats and make bad voters
oooooo. pictures of semi-nekkid chicks with chainsaws really get mah motor runnin if you know what i mean.
ReplyDeleteThis magazine, like many others, brought about its own death. I realize it's a slippery slope and that ad revenue is important, but it got to the point that the publication was 90% ads and 10% content. I also think KC Spaces magazine ate the outdated H&G's lunch.
