Print media has declined in line with increased consumption of digital news and entertainment, fueled by the continued proliferation of mobile devices. Simultaneously, wholesalers have become less involved in distributing print media, and retail stores have decreased their magazine offerings. Publishers have also boosted their circulation by offering discounted subscriptions, which are mailed directly to consumers without the aid of a wholesale distributor. Meanwhile, the number of brick-and-mortar book stores has contracted, reducing the industry's largest and natural customer base.
