"Less down is the new up" with magazine single-copy sales

Women's Wear Daily
That replaces "flat is the new up." Irin Carmon writes: "The long-standing expectation that a healthy magazine is one that sees successive growth on the newsstand is in question. ...Whether the change is cyclical (uncertain economic times that include high gas prices, fewer supermarket trips and less disposable income) or secular (consumer behavior is undergoing a fundamental change away from newsstand, or from print magazines themselves) depends on whom you ask. Editors and publishers would have it be the former."
