The Demise of Print

RIP: The Capital Times

The Madison, Wisconsin daily newspaper The Capital Times will publish its final print edition on Saturday, May 3rd, 2008. The 90-year-old newspaper will continue online.

Editor Paul Fanlund said that it was tough move, but a move that made sense for an industry that's struggling nationwide. The Capital Times is down to a daily circulation of only 17,000, WISC-TV reported.

RIP: Games for Windows (nee Computer Gaming World)

Ziff Davis will cease print publication of Games for Windows after the April/May 2008 issue. The magazine will continue online at 1UP.com. The move was carefully considered to help focus efforts where PC gamers spend most of their time: on their PCs.

Games for Windows/Computer Gaming World is one of the longest running magazines about PC games (27 years).
