Last week Conde Nast declared its iPhone magazine a "success" after the publisher sold 18,000 GQ magazine app downloads. At $2.99 each, that's a revenue (Apple earns a fee) of approximately $39,000. But it's not that big of a deal says Folio magazine because Conde Nast is missing the big picture.
Also last week, The National Enquirer announced it would seek, ahem, the Pulitzer Prize, for its stories on the John Edwards affair/paternity scandal. As the Washington Post notes, The National Enquirer did break the story but is it worthy of journalism's highest prize?
Another art magazine has folded: Art on Paper. Perhaps, as the publishers hope, someone else will take over the magazine when the economy improves. It happened with Editor & Publisher magazine, so we have hope. Have fun:)
