iA: WIRED on iPad: Just like a Paper Tiger…
Sunday, 30 May 2010, 09:17
First, the paper magazine was crammed into the little iPad frame. To compensate for the lack of interactive logic, this pretty package was provided with a fruity navigation. In the end it was spiced with in-app links, plucked with a couple of movies and salted with audio files (”interactive”). Then it was off to marketing. And it sold 24,000 copies. Dammit. It’s the Nineties all over again. … Here is a short, evil rundown of how iA sees the new WIRED app. … Let’s make this clear once and for all: at the current surface and resolution of the iPad, multi column layouts for long screen texts are sentimental nonsense."

New York Times: Wired Struggles to Find Niche in Magazine World
Tuesday, 19 May 2009, 13:03
"[Wired] has lost 50 percent of its ad pages so far this year, ranking among the worst off of the more than 150 monthly magazines measured by Media Industry Newsletter. Only Portfolio, which Condé Nast shut down last month, and Power and Motoryacht fared worse. … Wired’s circulation has gone steadily up, rising 32 percent since Mr. Anderson’s first full year there. But it is still one of the least popular magazines at Condé Nast, with a circulation of only 704,000. Its Web site, meanwhile, is the most popular of Condé Nast’s magazine sites, with about 11 million unique visitors a month, according to the company’s internal figures. That suggests that technology-forward readers prefer to read articles in a technology-forward way."
