Magzine trendspotting:“Pop culture critic” Cary Darling of the Dallas Ft. Worth Star Telegram, does a round-up of some new (and not-so-new) magazines he thinks are cool, many of which have been mentioned here previously. As apparently dictated in the “guidelines and bye-laws” of the organization, “Reporters Who Once In A While Write About Magazines,” (RWOIAWWAM), there are plenty of quotes from Samir Husni in the article.
Cary starts the article out with this opening sentence: “Isn’t the printed word supposed to be going the way of the $1.50 gallon of gas?” I’ll skip the fisking and merely share Cary’s “Top 26″ (which is a great example of reporter-math, as there are 37 magazines on the list) of the magazines he thinks are worthy. If I didn’t have anything better to do, I’d link to each one. However, if you want to purchase a subscription to any of them, here’s a rexblog contextual commerce link to a place you can do so and allow the rexblog to become a revenue generating machine:

Update: Of course, Ft. Worth, not Dallas, is where you’d find the Star Telegram. Sorry.

The Star Telegram is in Fort Worth, and always has been. Dallas’ only daily newspaper is the Dallas Morning News. There’s a world of difference (and 30 miles) between the cities.

I stand corrected. My apologies.
