University of Mississippi journalism professor Samir Husni names Conde Nast Portfolio as the most notable magazine launch of 2007.
“With the power of print alive, well and kicking on the pages of CN Portfolio magazine, the same can be said about Portfolio.com website. CN Portfolio provides a complete package of information that makes it a must to today’s movers and shakers. Whether ink on paper or pixels on the screen CN Portfolio deserves the honor of being named the Most Notable Launch of the Year. A well done job in the midst of a very rough year both on the business and media fronts.
“Indeed, 2007 has been a rough year for media across the board, but what we have seen in the last 12 months isn’t new. It has happened before. In just one short year we have seen overseas news bureaus shutdown, a television and movie writers’ strike that has altered viewing habits, a move to free internet media content by some big name papers, the slashing of approximately 1000 titles from Wal-Mart’s newsstands and now you see that we have the lowest total number of new magazine launches in five years.”
