When I think of print magazines, I think of all the advertising I have to flip through to get to the articles I want to read. The most recent publications I have subscribed to all come to my email. At this point, most print magazines that come to my house or office go right into the trash.

Will it be printed in landscape format so they can fit that name on the cover?
How will people even talk about the magazine verbally (supposing they would want to in the first place)? It doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. "Hey, did you read that Hikvision ad story in S N D A M"? Maybe Sin-dam? That might work for the non-Biblical crowd :)
I don't think we need any more print publications, but if I was launching one, I would not go with such a long and boring title. Having "news desk" in the name just seems to reinforce the idea of an out-of-date news delivery method.

Hi all...first, print is not dead, it will be, but today there's still an audience that prefers print. Do keep in mind that SecurityNewsDesk-Americas (I'll address that in a minute) will also have a strong e-Media portfolio to deliver content the way you want to consume it. Print, in time, will be gone. As for the long url, John you most likely started with the long one due to the established "brand", there is a brand with SecurityNewsDesk built over the last 10 years.You may not be aware of it (since it served the European marketplace) however now that it will be here in North America you definitely will be. Maybe it will shorten in time, maybe not.
I appreciate all the insight. Thanks.

Im not sure how, but we get Security System News in each month. We didnt buy a subscription so whoever sent these to us, Thanks!
At any rate, I do enjoy reading it from time to time. I put it up in my showroom for integrators to read while their orders get ready.
With that being said, i would never buy a subscription because Im an online type of guy

Mr. Purpura, one of the highest criticisms of the traditional trade magazines, and alluded to in this discussion, is the challenge of maintaining journalistic integrity writing articles about the very companies that are paying the bills with advertising. Is there a solution to that which you see?

Print magazines will go away just like newspapers. The move to online is here!!!

Tim did an interview with SIA CEO Don Erickson:
This is similar to the series Tim did at SSN, though that series averages ~50 views per episode:
