The magazine was “realigning key departments to help deepen engagement with our readers while also nurturing existing business models and developing new lines of revenue.”

Taking a formerly GREAT (for many decades) publication and changing it to modern crap.
I have an old boxed set of CDs of all issues of NG up until about when the set was produced. It includes the articles and the photos. Unfortunately, it was made for Windows 3.11, and I have not used Windows in more than a decade. I don’t even know whether modern versions of Windows would handle them, properly.
Oh man, this is a bummer. I used to get lost in issues dreaming of far away places that I still haven’t seen with my own eyes. They really opened up my understanding of the wider world when I was younger.

Journalism has been falling off a cliff. In Canada, more consolidation is happening, e.g., Toronto Star owner in talks to merge with Postmedia, which will make things more polarized.

…with only one of the poles represented by the major media. It’s only a matter of time before the Toronto Star’s editorial stance becomes the same as that of Postmedia.

The Star stopped being attractive to me a long time ago, although I still read it. Its change in ownership in 2020 only gave it borrowed time till the latest development. Someone prepared a document showing how much journalism NordStar and Postmedia own in Canada. Postmedia is owned by American hedge fund Chatham Asset Management. If we elect PP, CBC may disappear altogether. We will then only have American media of a certain persuasion.

I wonder how many remember the ‘Smell’ survey that NG did?
