After examining our topic more, I found out some interesting information about how print magazines accommodate their customers online. As most internet surfers know, you can visit espn.com to view the latest sports news. However, having a subscription to ESPN the magazine, you are able to view the print version of the magazine online. Where others who do not have a subscription to the magazine will not be able to view the print version online. You can find out more at espn.com.

Furthermore, while reading Men's Health I found which online features they offer. They do not offer an online version of their magazine, but they do offer several customer service features. Such as, payment for subscription, renewal of subscription, customer service, updating your email, change your address, report a missing or damaged issue, send them an email, or sign up for their online newsletter. For more information you can visit MensHealth.com.

I find it interesting that not all magazine companies offer an online version of the print version. I assumed every magazine would now have online versions.

I wonder if 10 years from now all magazines will have an online version of the month's edition and whether there will still be as many print based versions since it seems to me that our society is turning towards the Internet for everything....
