They are almost to the point of giving magazines away for free. $8/yr doesn't even cover postage fees that they have to pay.

Newspapers are in even worse shape - about a month ago the LA Times called and offered a FREE 7-day per week subscription for 6 months. That's it. Free. No strings attached. I still said no thanks. Then I told the person that I'd take it if they PAID me $10 a month. She laughed and said that they weren't quite that desperate yet. Yet.
