Magazine groups rely on sister publications to support weaker ones. So, Power & Motoryacht, which was up 29 percent from 2010 to 2011, offset other glossies and put Source Interlink up almost 4 percent in a year where 17 of 23 groups had ad page declines. Architectural Digest, Vogue and Wired each gained 9 percent, keeping losses by Conde Nast to 1 percent overall. One magazine in a small group carries a lot of weight: Intermedia Outdoors gained on the strength of Handguns, up almost 26 percent, and Departures, from American Express, was up 43 percent.

The frustration that the country's magazine and newspaper publishers feel toward Apple can sound a lot like a variation on the old relationship gripe, ''can't live with 'em, may get left behind without 'em.'' Since Apple introduced the iPad last year, publishers have poured millions of dollars into apps in the hopes that the device could revolutionize the industry by changing the way magazines are read and sold to consumers.

Current, the newspaper that has covered the public broadcasting business every two weeks for three decades, is leaving the hands of its longtime owner, WNET.org, the New York City public broadcaster. The board of WNET.org last week approved an agreement to sell Current to the American University School of Communication, whose board has also approved the move. The change is expected to take place in the new year, once a final contract is signed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

CORRECTION APPENDED WASHINGTON -- How did a 153-year-old magazine -- one that first published the ''Battle Hymn of the Republic'' and gave voice to the abolitionist and transcendentalist movements -- reinvent itself for the 21st century? By pretending it was a Silicon Valley start-up that needed to kill itself to survive. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

So which is better: a print magazine or its digital version? The newest ad for the nation's major magazine publishers, which have been running a promotional campaign to counter perceptions that print is a dying medium, doesn't side with its newer medium. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Just over a week ago, Newsweek announced that it is going to merge with the online magazine The Daily Beast. Since then, cyberspace has echoed with pessimistic commentary about the future of this new entity. After all, why should anyone think that two money-losing organizations will start making money simply because they have banded together? It's a fair question, but I wouldn't be so gloomy. The pessimists are underestimating how much American culture is changing right now and how these changes will open up fresh opportunities for Newsweek and old-line general-interest print magazines like it. These magazines didn't thrive for so many decades for no reason. They tapped into a deep strain in American culture. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Look, there's Cher on the cover in silver snakeskin, and looking not a day over 40. She's a survivor, to be sure, and so is Architectural Digest, the shelter behemoth that seems hardly to have aged at all in the nearly four decades since a cheap quarterly transmogrified into a European-style glossy in a tiny Los Angeles office. But last week, Paige Rense Noland, the magazine's 81-year-old editor, inventor and fierce brand steward, called it quits after 35 years on the job, leaving industry insiders scratching their heads over who would succeed her without rocking AD's very sturdy boat. You could carp about its staid layout, its flat, bright photos of the third and fourth homes of studio executives, hedge-fund managers and movie stars -- the National Geographic of home magazines, some said -- but like National Geographic, it was the one people saved. Here was a shiny catalog of the good life, organized on a simple premise: the magazine-as-club. Ms. Noland made sure that when your house appeared in Architectural Digest it was like a victory lap, proof you'd joined the winners' circle. ''I just wanted the decorators to be the stars,'' Ms. Noland said. ''I just wanted to report what they did.'' [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

When Bloomberg L.P. bought Businessweek in December, a group of the magazine's writers, who were being transferred to the Bloomberg newswire, attended a two-week training session. They learned that the terminals, costing about $20,000 a year, drove Bloomberg's business; they discovered that the main elevators stop only on the sixth and ninth floors, forcing a manic feeling in the building as employees dash up and down staircases. One speaker was the head of Bloomberg's ''speed desk,'' who was especially proud, according to people at the meeting, when the desk published a headline seconds ahead of Reuters, and a young trader had made enough money from that lead alone to buy a Hummer.

IT was by and large a jovial crowd that filled the back rooms of the Half King bar in Chelsea on Tuesday night, as a crush of former staff members, contributors and friends of I.D. magazine, the 56-year-old design bible that folded last month, gathered, ostensibly to mourn its passing. Though the evening was billed as a wake -- its invitation was composed, appropriately, in a font called Requiem -- the gestalt was more like a class reunion, a gaggle of bright former students who all seemed to like one another very much. It is sometimes the case that employees of shuttered publications have a distorted sense of their magazines' importance. When an underfinanced two-year-old city weekly went belly-up two decades ago, the wake was covered by The New York Times, and the weekly's former staff members, including this reporter, were photographed by Dith Pran, a survivor of the Cambodian killing fields, after which an editor turned to Mr. Dith and said breathlessly, ''After what you've been through, this must seem like nothing!'' (Big wince.) [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

National Geographic announced on Thursday that it was ceasing regular publication of National Geographic Adventure, its 10-year-old magazine about travel and the outdoors published eight times a year. However, it will keep the brand alive in two annual newsstand-only publications, in books and on the Web. The company had been in talks to sell the magazine, but those fell apart after it refused to part with the ''National Geographic'' portion of the title, said John Q. Griffin, executive vice president and president of the magazine group at the National Geographic Society. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

A start-up in Colorado has a new twist on print publishing. It lets readers pick which articles they want in their magazine and then print it themselves. The company, Printcasting, has a Web site on which anyone can put together a magazine featuring their own blog posts or articles and items from blogs and newspapers that have registered with the site. Advertisers can place ads in the publications. Readers can print a copy of the magazine or view it online or on a mobile device. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

A newly discovered but unfinished novel by Graham Greene, right, is being serialized in The Strand magazine beginning this week and will appear in four more quarterly installments. The magazine hopes to commission someone to write an ending for the novel, a murder mystery called ''The Empty Chair'' that Greene began in 1926 and then apparently abandoned. He was 22 at the time, had just converted to Roman Catholicism and was working, on trial, at The Times of London. The manuscript, written in longhand, was discovered last year in the Greene archive at the Ransom Center at the University of Texas by a French scholar, Francois Gallix. The first chapter was published in December by The Times of London as part of a literary quiz in which readers were asked to guess the author. The novel is a country-house mystery, with a couple of titled characters as well as a sly, Columbo-like detective-inspector. ''It's not vintage Greene, and not Greene at the height of his powers,'' Andrew Gulli, the managing editor of The Strand, said last week. ''But you can tell that he has all the parts in place.'' The Strand, which in its last issue published a newly unearthed story by Mark Twain as well as a lost P. G. Wodehouse story, is itself a rediscovery of sorts. Now published in Birmingham, Mich., it's a revival of the famous London magazine that flourished from 1890 to 1950 before finally folding. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

WHEN Time Inc. and Lexus devised a project they thought could be a new business model for magazines, they discovered that new business models come with new problems. The project is an individualized magazine called Mine. It is meant to play off the customizable features in the new Lexus 2010 RX by letting readers order the articles they want from Time Inc. and Publishing magazines; the issues include Lexus ads personalized with readers' names -- along the lines of ''The All New 2010 RX, Now With More John Doe'' -- or with references to the cities where they live.

AS tough times send some publishers running for cover, marketers are running advertisements on the covers of some publications. The April issue of Scholastic Parent & Child, scheduled to come out on Monday, will carry an ad on the front cover for the first time in the 16-year history of the magazine. The ad, for a company called Smilebox, will appear in the lower right corner of the cover and carry the label ''advertisement'' in small type. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

The article presents a discussion on whether excerpts that are published in magazines, help in bolstering the sales of respective books. According to some publishers, a lift can be offered by an excerpt in a book's sales but a risk exists as it might offer too much, deriving thunder from the book. The problems faced by publishers include fewer magazines running excerpts and smaller sums paid for them.
