The December issue of Details magazine will be its last, making the men’s fashion title the latest casualty of the declining print advertising market.
While I'm not going to shed a tear for Details — I haven't read a copy in at least a decade — this is not good news for writers. It's hard out there for freelancers, and only getting harder. Combine this with news that Gawker laid off writers yesterday in their ill-advised attempt to rebrand as a politics site and you've got another step forward in the consolidation of an already-rough market.
