Comment on Reader’s Digest in peril in US by magforum

Reader’s Digest chief Mary Berner summed the problem up as “a balance sheet issue and not an operational issue” in the Financial Times*. That’s undoubtedly true with buy-out investors led by Ripplewood Holdings set to lose $600m.

However, Reader’s Digest has a long-term problem of falling sales as its ‘baby-boom’ readership dies off. In 1999, then chief executive Thomas Ryder said the group’s strategy was to focus on those over-50s readers. They’re now all 10 years older and I doubt that today’s 50-year-olds are replacing them.

As for the concept of summarising other publications, that’s a lot older than RD, going back to Victorian titles such as Tit-Bits and Answers (and Answers was the inspiration for the Wolrd-Wide Web!).

Is it the magazine itself or the company that’s running it? Reader’s Digest is an old concept, but The Week uses the same basic principles. From what I have read about the PE operation that bought out RD I’d rather be in the tender hands of Felix Dennis. Perhaps there should be a new question, along the lines of What Would Google Do – what would Dennis do? Probably close it.
