Should Print Magazines Review Gadgets?
Owen Thomas from ValleyWag has written a scathing critique of print magazines and suggests that they are unable to keep up in our ever changing world.
But the painfully slow publication cycle of monthly magazines is crashing into the ever-faster world of gadgets — with embarrassing results, as seen in the October issue of Entrepreneur.
He goes on to talk about the October issue of Entrepreneur magazine and how they provided a review of the Palm Foleo, which was squashed by Palm before ever hitting the stores. My instinct was to agree with Owen, but anyone who is getting their gadgets advice from Entrepreneur magazine probably won’t be bothered by an inaccurate article.
What do you think? Do you like to read the gadget articles in magazines? Do you think they’re outdated? Are they good enough for light entertainment?
