I agree with Newsweek in that many companies have and may go under during these tough times, but as far as I know Christians are still a thirsty for good Christian media such as study bibles and well- Christian fiction. Perhaps magazines like Christianity Today have just passed there heyday and the industry needs to move on. I wonder how a personalized, “Christian” Kindle would fare on the market if it came with a few E-books already installed and or Christen Designs imprinted on the casing?

There was a time when there weren't any Christian magazines. Their life has ebb and flowed in history. It's the underlying needs they address, and which you aptly pointed out, that don't and won't change. The means to address them may change with technology, but the reasons why these publications flourished beautifully (in their time) continue as roots that will give forth shoots in some other way. So, like you said...might look dead, but isn't. Nicely put, Linda. There was a time when there weren’t any Christian magazines. Their life has ebb and flowed in history.
