Keep JPG Magazine Alive!
On the 1st of January this year, one of the most important photography community, JPG Magazine, announced that it will discontinue its activity because of its financial situation. With almost 200,000 creative photographers, JPG Magazine is one respected publication with many fans. The news shocked the people from the photographic world and many of them wanted to help JPG Magazine in one way or another. It seems that they did because in the first post the closing date for JPG Mag was January 5th. Now in another post due to the large movement and positive feedback JPG Magazine will live another week in order to find a possible investor.
The guys behind Save JPG started a poll, asking a proper annual fee that will guarantee based on the number of subscribers, a much longer life. At this point it seems like 40% of the participants are willing to pay $25 which is a decent annual fee. But, I guess we will see in the next days how JPG Mag will try to survive in these harsh economic times.
Congratulation to all members and contributors! Hopefully we can make JPG Magazine a permanent community. Cheers!
