This is a fantastic article on the state of our beloved magazines. I don't necessarily agree with everything in here (I kind of like what's in the sky this month) but I think it's a well balanced article. I fear the day when either magazine closes shop because they can't sell enough magazines. I'd love to see more articles on observing and equipment. I'd even like to see some older articles from Houston and other earlier writers. I appreciate the technical articles and I'm sure they sell a lot of magazines themselves, but I want a magazine on observing. Astronomy and S&T both used to be that. Not too much anymore.
Oh and for the record I'm subscribed to both including AT, AA, and Sky News. If there were more I'd get them. Might even get the one in the UK, course that is a pricey one.
