Real inflation is at work with this SI issue (where the company couldn't make a debt payment). It seems like there might be some labor issue where writers want higher salaries, which the owners must not be able to pay. Also, I know printing costs are going through the roof as are mailing costs ... and fewer people are paying for subscriptions and Pfizer can only buy so many ads for each edition.
It's expensive to produce a publication like SI, which probably doesn't want to pay to send its journalists and photographers all over the world to cover sporting events like it used to do.
Add it all up, and expect more publications to cease publication .... or cutback even more on staff - which is why we're also getting all these stories written by AI.

Scripts kill me, chatbots choke me, trolls delight me.
