Why phase out print when so many readers value it?
We understand that many readers truly value print, and this was not an easy decision. However, moving away from print allows us to deliver content more quickly, reach more people, and expand the types of resources we provide. The digital format gives us the flexibility to offer timely updates, multimedia features, and greater access for readers everywhere. While we’ll miss print, this change helps us serve you better now and in the future.
What about people who don’t read content online?
We know not everyone prefers to read online, and we understand this change may feel like a loss. While the print magazine will no longer be produced, we’re committed to making our digital content as easy to access and navigate as possible—on your computer, phone, or tablet. In addition, we’ll continue to share resources through other formats, such as our podcast and book series, so you can stay informed in the way that works best for you.
Could print return in the future if conditions change?
While we don’t have plans to return to print at this time, we’ll continue to evaluate ways to best serve our readers. Our focus is on providing high-quality content digitally, and we remain open to exploring new opportunities in the future.
