A typical latter-day LIFE cover.
LIFE magazine- is ceasing publication of its print version, and beginning plans to publish as an on line periodical exclusively. In other shocking news: LIFE magazine was still being published!
Where will we turn for the oversized glossy treatment of disaster stories, offered up with double page shots of people crying over their dead? What other news magazine will care what Brooke Shields is doing, or treat us to another navel-gazing reprint "collector's issue" every other month?
As far as I'm concerned, this relic belongs in a fading memory. It's not unique or relevant in the marketplace, has a creepy editorial agenda, and basically has no reason to exist. This is the fourth time LIFE has closed its doors- can they not take a hint?
