ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST? [UPDATE]

We thought an update was necessary when we heard the news that The Chap magazine had been saved from closure by donations from its readers. It's heartwarming to see that a publication can be saved in such a communal manner.

Is this the start of a new, more honest and transparent approach to publishing? I’m guessing if Maxim had asked its readers for help, they would not have been so quick to put their hands in their pockets. Mainly because they were too busy... sorry, childish.

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST?

Biannual mens magazine The Chap has found itself in financial difficulties, in these credit crunched times it is no surprise to hear another magazine is facing closure. Remember, we have seen the final issues of Arena, Maxim and Portfolio.

The Chap is taking a novel approach to the doom and gloom and has asked its readers for donations to help save the magazine. Although I am not the biggest fan of the publication I do feel the need to donate a few pounds to the cause.

If you too would like to help save The Chap click here and go to their donations page.

Good luck boys!
