SmoothSpan Blog —
... The last print edition of PC Magazine goes out this January. It’s the end of an era.

... will follow that model and PC Magazine will become PCMag, part of a new network of sites called the PCMag Digital Network. The Network will also include ExtremeTech, Gearlog, Appscout, Smart Device Central, GoodCleanTech, DL.TV, Cranky Geeks, and PCMagCast.
I believe that other magazines may follow by also discontinuing their printed magazines as the economy continues to slow in 2009.
