The Lure of the iPad
May 2010
From Publishing Executive
Here is an interesting observation and a modern-age publishing dilemma. Due to print publishing's vagaries and analog necessities, this article was due to my editor four to five weeks before it would be released in

Foreign Affairs (ForeignAffairs.com)—however, faces the same challenges as most magazines today—increased competition from existing and emerging online sources, consumers in a down economy who scrutinize every purchase (and subscription), and a fast-paced, tech-driven society where long-form content is often perceived as old-school or unbefitting of today's on-the-go, bits-and-bytes, instant-access-oriented marketplace. But unlike many other magazines, the 88-year-old
Foreign Affairs—which explores issues in American foreign policy and international affairs—not only still derives 90 percent of its revenue from print, it continues to grow its paid circulation and newsstand sales. Its strategy? A focus on content, playing to its strengths and opportunities, and some plain-old smart business acumen.
