Steve Forbes of Forbes magazine talked with Jerry Kronenberg of The Boston Herald about a variety of topics, including the future of the business magazine.
Here is an excerpt:
Rupert Murdoch recently bought The Wall Street Journal and launched the Fox Business Network, while Conde Nast created Portfolio magazine. What’s the future for Forbes magazine in this new era?
We also just launched a print publication called “Forbes Life Executive Womanâ€? – the first publication aimed at women in the executive suite – and it’s off to a very good start.
So there’s a place for print (in the Web era). It’s not across-the-board anymore, but there’s a place for it as a platform.
Will there always be a printed version of Forbes magazine?
Yes. I think people like magazines. (The Web) is not the same as just picking up something that’s not mechanical.
