[image title=”sarahwired” size=”thumbnail” id=”652″ align=”left” linkto=”[site_url]/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/sarahwired.jpg” ] Spare a thought for Wired Magazine, while advertising pages are down by 23.8 % overall according to MediaWeek’s Monitor, poor Wired magazine is down a shocking 47.1%. Literally the magazine has seen its advertising support halve. That is worse than mega luxury goods publications like Town & Country (down only 37.4% by comparison).

Interestingly photography magazines are only down by about 15%-18%, (American Photo, Popular Photography & Imaging etc), (figures for Cinefex or American Cinematographer were not available). Admittedly wired is not as bad as luxury yacht magazine Power & Motor Yacht which is off a whopping 62.8%, but still what did poor old Wired magazine do so wrong? I like Wired… (their Apple Rumor blog report card is just the sort of geeky stuff I like ! ) but man you’d have to be rocked by a 50% drop! – Good Luck Wired.

PS. We are in Singapore this week, watch for a really cool interview with concept artist Feng Zhu later this week. If you at Broadcast Asia please drop by our sessions and say hi.
