Taking Off in Public: Newsstand is Going Away, Not Print
Key Takeaways:
- The new owner of *Flying* magazine, Craig Fuller, reversed his initial plan for a digital-only publication, opting instead to retain and significantly upgrade the print edition due to its importance to the community.
- The print magazine will undergo a major quality overhaul, including premium paper, covers, enhanced photography, evergreen content, and the removal of non-aviation ads, aiming to be "coffee-table worthy."
- Due to the inefficiency and cost of newsstand distribution, *Flying* magazine will no longer be sold on newsstands by the end of the year, with the print version becoming available exclusively through subscription.
