A couple of months back they did a complete makeover of the magazine. I knew they were in trouble then. I've noticed the thickness of the magazine has dropped recently also, due to less advertising. I don't know if that is a function of the current state of the economy or their sales staff. I don't think the redesign was all that great and I guess others don't as well. However, I do like reading the magazine at off-line time and they do have some good stories. It's a good summary for the week. As mentioned above, I'd like to see them cover start-up's and entrepreneur's more. And give up on those ever stupid top 200 or whatever MBA mills. I’ve been a Businessweek subscriber for a long time.

There is nothing else to write in Business magazine. What else you want to write about? Getting Mark Zuckerberg, Google Founders, Youtube Founders is hard. It cost money and time. I think BusinessWeek, NYT, WSJ, business publication should chase entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs like us, we are spiderman & hiding in closet. Hey, hungry Journalists... Come get us if you dare!!!

These publications have been hurting for a long time, each scraping by until they can either be acquired or successfully converted to their electronic cousins.
