What comes after Plan B?

"Sad news", as they referred to it themselves: Plan B magazine is no more. By the sounds of the statement, times are very tough and they just weren't prepared to compromise or cut corners so have very honourably decided to bow out now:

"We’ve come to this decision after a lot of deliberation. The current economic climate, combined with the situation of the music industry - to which, whether we like it or not, the fortunes of a commercial monthly music mag are inextricably linked - has made it ever harder for us to continue producing the magazine the way we want to. To keep going, we’d need to make cuts in staff, content, size, frequency, print quality - and we’re not prepared to do that. We’re still above water, we’re making some beautiful magazines, and we are quitting while we’re ahead."

While I did buy it occasionally and toyed with the idea of a subscription, I never got one, so should probably take a share of the responsibility for its demise. Hopefully it won't be too far in the "not too distant future" before they're back "in some other form", because the number of decent British music magazines has just plummetted to 0.
