Are magazines outdated? A thing of the past?

Our story could begin almost anywhere. On a busy corner in a busy city. Or in a crossroads country store. In a skyscraper. In the living room of a suburban home. For the magic of modern magazine. In every community at every level, they are an intimate part. Directly and indirectly through articles, fiction, and poetry. They have exerted economic thought. They have helped mold our ideas and ideals. Our ethical and social concepts. Our prides and prejudices. Our likes and dislikes. Our fashions. Our work and our play. Today more than ever, the printed word is one of the greatest social influences on our way of life.
