Thats wild! Never would have thought SI would be going outta business its been a staple publication forever

 

[AP2.5]

It doesn't feel like they ever embraced the transition to digital news imo

 

[Sony Montana]

SI been done for like 4-5 years now

Sad

But like AP said they didn’t transition well and eventually got lost in the shuffle with the rise of other mediums in the past 10 years

Soon as SI was bought by a company that wasnt a sports media company, they been making mistake after mistake.

End of an era

Another piece of an era goes

Couldn’t switch successfully from magazine to online?
Slowly failing?
They need to do podcast and more sports talk like First Take and others alike.

I don’t know how magazines and print media are lasting today with everything online. The last big SI shoot I remembered was with Megan Thee Stallion a couple years ago. They should do photo shoots live on their IG pages just like most photographers do today.

I think there's still an audience for physical media. Hell I was just wishing I could go in the store and buy a CD.

I think what they should've done was gone digital but charge for people who still wanted physical copies or print limited copies to control demand

Never thought I’d see the day. I heard of them being in trouble a few years ago but I always figured someone would swoop in and save it. I remember my dad had a subscription & I’m willing to bet he still does.

The Maven is where brands go to die.
