The Bulletin, the magazine for which Australia’s first newsagencies were created in the 1800s and Australians longest running magazine, is closing. The current issue is the last according to the ACP Magazines’ announcement. Given the link to the reason for which we were created, this is a sad day for newsagents. Sure, the Bulletin was not a shadow of its former self. It’s closure must give us pause to contemplate our own longevity as a channel – not in a doom and gloom sense but thinking about the future and the opportunities before those of us with the guts to seize them.
