Preview Magazines Still Popular
Despite the instantaneous nature of news these days, preseason college football magazines have survived.
They have endured teletypes, television and fax machines, email, the Internet and now Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat and Periscope. Whatever else comes down the line, these magazines will likely withstand that, too.
Why do so many people still buy them when most of the information is dated? The publishing deadlines are typically in May, which means a lot has happened from the time the ink has dried until the magazines are delivered to the newsstands until practice begins in August.
