I'm having a difficult time finding information about the transformation of magazines from paper to online. The only information I can find is the actual magazine sites itself. Not sure where else I should look for articles?

My topic is kind of the concept of "the video killed the radio star," except mine is the internet killed the magazine shelf!

I work at sheetz, and I have been wanting to interview all of the people that buy magazines and ask them why they are buying them, but my manager told me that I'm not allowed too. Surprisingly, we sell a lot of magazines, so it is kind of going against my hypothesis that the paper magazine is dying.

.. time will tell ..

No worries. Maybe you could go to Barnes and Noble or somewhere similar and ask people why they are buying magazines. You might also go to google.com/news and search for dying magazines or something like that. It may help, you never know ! I think a news article would be a perfectly legitimate source ! You could also use a print magazine as a source as well as it's counterpart - its web site and compare the two mediums and how they differ. how is one more effective? what's the difference between the two?

Keep searching! :)
