Newsstand’s Impact⇢
Jim Dalrymple, in an interview at MacStories about his newly-released The Loop Magazine:

In some ways, I feel like I’m back in 1994. The traditional magazine outlets are having a hard time wrapping their heads around platforms like Newsstand and the best way to publish content. I’m confident that offering readers exclusive long-form articles in a clean app is the way to go.
