The internet threatens print? As in the words of Hearst Publishing’s Cathie Black, “I actually believe the experience that one has reading a magazine, sitting on a couch, in bed, on an airplane, wherever you choose to read, is a very different experience than just going online. I don’t think print is dead at all.” Magazines encapsulate the culture of an ever changing society. For guys, these are some magazines that have established themselves as such.
