Conclusion

So I want to do a conclusion of the blog so far and perhaps highlight the key point of the blog.

I've talked about how Vogue has changed because of the "digital revolution". It has become more accessible and now anyone with access to a computer can read, follow, like or repost Vogue's content. With all this digitisation Vogue started promoting the Vogue lifestyle with they Twitter and events like Vogue Fashion Night Out.
The magazine has now become a brand with Eye wear collections, events and magazines.
In my opinion Vogue has been one of the successful adopters of the digital era. They updated their website (which is very similar to their digital issues layout), they are active users on all social media platforms (like Twitter, Facebook etc.)There are of course different opinions of this and I have made a post dedicated to that.
The main key point of the blog has been the question that a lot of editors and magazines have discussed and that a lot of people are still asking : Is print media dying?
Well so far I have shown that the answer is no. Yes, the circulation numbers have dropped but the importance of print in our lives hasn't changed. For magazines the digital world is still unexplored, until they get it right with their social media and tablet apps , the print will not go any where.
The tablet App  is praised to be the next big thing in print media and journalism but so far there is not much difference between the digital and print issues of Vogue but who knows what the future holds? Perhaps as mentioned in previous post Vogues future lies in TV - every issue will just consist of short videos or perhaps soon we will be able to buy items from Vogue App while we read it. 
The conclusion so far is that print media is not going anywhere for quiet some time and that its evolving and adapting to the digital era and that only time will show where this is all going.

Old readers thank you for reading and new ones welcome!
