On The Cheap

Filed under: Gay Gay Gay > Media Minute

Planet Out has sold their magazines, Out and The Advocate, to the here! TV network.

They were sold for a paltry $6 million cash.

That's sad!

Let's hope there aren't many layoffs at the mags to follow.

      print media is dying, sadly. i work at a gay video store that sold THE AVOCATE.(or tried to sell) in 5 years the only issues that sold out(25 copies) were the 2 brokeback mountain covers.

      Perhaps if OUT and the Advocate bothered to have ANY interesting articles in them they wouldn't have gone so cheaply.

      Awwwww, did somebody not get hit on last weekend when she went to the her favorite bar? And after you spent all that time doing your hair and getting your thong pulled up just right? Hmmm, it's probably because you're just as ugly on the outside there kitten. Now how about you go and do what you do on pretty much every night, sit on your couch in a robe eating cookies before turning out the light at 9pm and crying yourself to sleep.

      I've noticed alot of blank white space in both of these mags lately…lack of advertisers? I hate to be a shallow homo, but I prefer Out (and Out Traveler) over the Advocate. Out is more fun & "fluffier" while the Advocate is more preachy. I do resent both mags though for rarely putting actual LGBT folks on the cover in favor of "friendly" celebs.

      I worked for PlanetOut.com back in 2001. When GAY.com purchased Planet Out,
      they PHASED OUT over 100 dedicated employees with the exception of 2,
      who were principal. It was DRASTIC! I feel bad for the future hangman.
      There is no difference between GAY or STRAIGHT businesses.
      Buisness is buisiness.
