AMI had purchased Men's Journal a few years ago and merged Men's Fitness into it (around the same time they merged FLEX into Muscle & Fitness). Now that Jake Wood has purchased M&F, M&F Hers and the Olympia, he announced that they are only publishing digital versions. Print is dead, folks, and I say that being a publisher of a print magazine. Hence the reasons why I focus on the digital version and do a short print run because I'm an old school thick-headed guinea.
