"there should be a stronger focus on web-based materials..."

I totally agree...but I think in time this will change.

And there should be a stronger focus on web-based materials. Creative Review in the UK did this for a bit w/ PDF versions of the magazine. I realize print is great, seeing things on the page is irreplaceable, but instant, daily content can be a driving force for advertising and information as well.

If anyone reads Dot Dot Dot, I think they have a great way of creating interesting, important magazines. They focus less on advertising, placing all the ads at the back, without flash, and focusing more on articles, writing.

Print, Wired, etc, have tons of ads, so much so that you lose focus sometimes of whats real and whats banners. Also, i hate the paper sample adverts, it makes it so hard to just flip through the magazine, or fold it back and enjoy the read.

I'd like to see more predictive articles too, not just "heres whats cool now!" or "be sustainable" 5 years too late. Its about prediction, about entertainment and education and stronger presentation of design ideas. Architecture does this, why can't graphic/web design?
