Starlog, a monthly science-fiction film magazine, is going to become a web only publication. Starlog posted a message saying issue #374, the April 2009 edition, will be the last print edition. Starlog's print version was been published for 33 years.
STARLOG.com has relaunched in beta! As a part of our massive digital initiative, STARLOG.com has returned to the web to bring you the best original content pertaining to the worlds of Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Comic Entertainment.
With daily news, reviews, features, and more, STARLOG.com is your home for sci-fi on the web.
In addition, our new Digital store (launching next month), available on our network of online sites including STARLOG and FANGORIA, will soon feature beautifully restored digital editions of the entire run of STARLOG magazine.
We feel that these new technological ventures are very much in step with the futuristic concept of STARLOG, and will carry the brand forward into the new ideology of the 21st century and beyond.
It is also at this time that we announce the temporary cessation of the current run of STARLOG as a print magazine. After 33 years, and considering the present state of the economy, we feel its time for a major revamp and will be temporarily discontinuing publication while the model and redesign of the magazine are contemplated and executed.
The last print issue available for the time being is #374, while issue #375 will be available exclusively as a digital edition on the network in the very near future.
We're looking forward to bringing you more of the best of sci-fi in the months ahead. Thank you for your continued support and your understanding in this matter.
The print edition will certainly be missed by fans but digital is where every publisher seems inevitably headed these days even though many publishers are still fighting against. The statement does call the print cessation temporary, leaving open the possibility of a return to print at some point in the future.
