Digital Impasse:
Jason Kottke is attempting to read 52 new magazines in 2004. He’s posted a list of the 350 publications suggested to him by his readers. While I’m intruiged by several of these titles, I can’t get over how some of don’t have websites. Precisely what century do these magazines think this is? Or are they hanging on to that tired old nonsense that not having a website is somehow an affirmation of their print cred? The truth is that in 2004, most people get at least some of their crucial information from the web. Not having a way to communicate to your audience online to me is no different than failing to post your hours on your front door.
Cometbus, you’re among the most respected zines in the country. Get a website, ya bums!

I think most of the magazines *do* have websites, they’re just not linked from that list. Offhand, Columbia Journalism Review, Bark, Blender, Bus 2.0, Bus Week, Esquire, New Yorker, Poetry, Punk Planet all have websites. Kottke just didn’t add links to them.

Yeah, that was a little confusing.
