I recently learned that a number of small magazines have been relying on Walmart for up to 1/3 of their sales, but beginning in May Walmart will be carrying only a few titles compared to the current selection, and Walmart gave all the removed publishers very short notice so a number of people lost jobs. As a result a large number of magazines have to rapidly figure out alternatives or close up shop. What I don't know is if the sudden change by Ferrets magazine -- made so suddenly that they still had subscription cards in the magazines that went out and had to add a second cover is related to this, but a friend who is an industry analyst said that a large number of magazines are completely going out of business because they aren't up to going to internet alternatives. I sure hope that the new alternative for Ferrets Magazine eventually includes archives and videos.
