Video may have killed the radio star, but it killed the photo magazine first. Now LIFE magazine is returning. Sort of. From NPR : ‘LIFE’ Goes On: Photo Magazine Returns:
The photographic journal LIFE, whose pages have featured some of the most unforgettable images in history, returned to U.S. newsstands this week. Launched in 1936 as a weekly, the magazine ceased publication in 1972. Between 1978 and 2000, LIFE returned as a monthly, but circulation failed to match its earlier heyday.LIFE’s backers are now hoping to recapture its audience by bringing it back once again, this time as a weekly insert in local newspapers around the country.
