(Austin American/Statesman) commenting on the demise of Gourmet magazine:
With so many recipes online as it is, will bloggers eventually replace food magazines altogether? Don't bet your blogspot address on it. Husni* says that because technology allows anyone to create content, including recipes, magazines are in a place to save audiences from the mediocre content that readers are bombarded with. Everyone wants to focus on the Web and social media, but 90 percent of revenue is still coming from print, he says.
*Samir Husni, founder and director of the Magazine Innovation Center at the University of Mississippi
