Now It's Discover Magazine That's for Sale

This week, first Newsweek was put up for sale by its owner, the Washington Post Co. Today comes word from Folio: that 700-000-circ science magazine Discover is looking for a buyer. I think this is our chance.

Newsweek is said to be bleeding tens of millions of dollars a year, but Folio: says Discover is reportedly cash-flow positive. So I'm in!

I've got $37 in my wallet, and can probably squeeze a bit more off my credit cards. Come on, pitch in! This is Discover we're talking about. Originally a Time-Life magazine, Discover helped launch a great new era of popular science journalism, and it's done some great work over the decades.

Did I mention it's cash-flow positive??
