Dzjeezes .... ZD to close down PRINT?

Things haven't been looking too bright these last months for wellknown publisher Ziff Davies but apparantly the Chapter 11 filings mention "Projections for 2009 and 2010 do not include print revenue or costs. The Company and its advisors are currently exploring all options and alternatives regarding the print operations" according to PaidContent.org's Rafat Ali newsletter. Who would have suggested such a scenario a couple of years ago, when ZD was thé leading PCMag publisher? Getting rid of print? Not as much due to the internet but to the recession over there ... European publishers, beware when this blows across the atlantic.
