Finally, with the proliferation of smart phones and tablets, print media is slowly looking like it will be going the way of the rotary phone and standard definition television. As a sign of the times last week Spin Media fired its editor Doug Brod and publisher, that according to the NY Time’s Media Decoder blog is “part of a larger transformation that will expand the publication’s presence online”. The music mag, which has extensively built out its website, is expected to continue publish a print edition, along with further developing its online presence through apps.
